    This is my great grandfather born 1866

    He was a one leg running champion and a fishmonger – he was also a leading light in the Royal Antediluvian Order Of Buffaloes (a type of freemasons) – he was married twice, the second time at age 70 to a 30 year old girl…..

    He also stood for MP in his town but lost narrowly

    Here he is with some of his running medals

    Brilliant picture @Wibbles, what an interesting chap!

    That's amazing you've got back so far @Amberpearl! The earliest I've got is down to about the 1600s. We have some difficult surnames in my family so it's hard to trace past that point. It's so fascinating to find out where your family comes from.
