So What Did Your Daddy Do Back in The Day

my x5 great grandfather John Smith the elder was hanged as a highwayman & the leader of the Culworth Gang Aug 4th 1787

                                                                 Neither the Butchers or the Bakers
                                                                  were exactly candlestick makers ..

                                                               But the Smith’s, Parkers and Pettitt’s

                                                               Were all boat-builders, cooks, nurses
                                                              or medics, so what did your daddy do ..

Being Me

Oooh, Neville that's sooo interesting! One of my ancestors, on my mothers side, was executed for being a witch. My children's 5x great uncle( I think its 5 times could be 4)  was Sir William Gull, Queen Victoria's surgeon and at one time a Jack the Ripper suspect ( pretty sure he was not J the R)  x

Wowzers indeed .. I knew about William Gull, both the fact he was Queen Victoria's personal surgeon and a prime suspect for JtR .. isn't history fascinating x
