Wa-Hay! I'm related by marriage. You are a distant cousin of my wife.

You are a distant cousin of my wife.

If you were from Suffolk, you'd be brothers!

And cousins.

Bowers was my grandmothers uncle. Get yourself a copy of The Worst Journey in The World. Next time your out on the bike and you're finding it a bit tough you'll always be able to think well at least my teeth haven't shattered with the cold.

Her married name was Greenhgh, I'll have to check with my mum what her maiden name was. She lived in Manchester although they moved to Blackpool in the 50's.
