Yeah yeah hark at you trying to make yourself look common after your grand announcement :-D

Unfortunately there was a 'rogue' one, who lost the family fortune before the 19th Century :-|
This is the Cornish side - through my dad's mum's grandmother (Truran).
No-one is quite sure who dad (and his sister's) father was - though we have our suspicion!

One side of my Hampshire lot began life on the New Forest - as travellers, then squatters.
The Suffolk side - well g gran moved to Hampshire from Suffolk after having a baby out of wedlock - then going on to have 10 more, before marrying!
The rest of the Suffolk lot didn't move far from Middleton Moor - or if they did, they ended up back there, or in Aldeburgh :-S

So, quite an eclectic mix. :-D :-D :-D

Well now. That's really grand.!

My lot were busy digging up ' taties' in Sussex or Herefordshire, so I guess you'll expect a curtsey if we meet up again.!

Doffs hat and backs out slowly...............

I have a 'rough' tree going back another 5 generations from my great x 13 grandmother. I like researching the female line - the chances of a woman being the mother of her baby are more likely than a particular man being the father!

The last couple are William Carminow, (1355 - 1407), who married Margaret Kelly (1372 - 1420).
I use all sorts of sources to try to verify they are who I think they are - and thought 'Margaret Kelly' who married William Carminow may be difficult to confirm heritage-wise, I thought she may be Irish.

Not so. Please doff your caps to Lady Margaret Baroness Tresolyth Kelly, daughter of Isabella (of Hampshire) and Sir John Kelly (of Devon) who married Sir William Lord Tresolyth Carmynowe Carminow.
