	My gran never said who my dad's dad was. However, she was brought up, for a period of her life by her aunt, who married a Mr Gay, and had a few sons, one of whom was 2 years younger than my gran. It was fortunate that my brother knew about the Gay family, as, at gran's funeral, a man who he didn't know, came up to my brother (who, like my gran and dad has piercing blue eyes) and said: 'You have Gay eyes' I think I may know, from this one comment who my dad's father was!! One of the Gay ancestors (a boy) was named Brighton Gay!!

	Winifred A Hoare - a gg aunt. In Corfe museum last week, a knitter in 1881 was called Mary Shitley. As I said to my 11 year old grand daughter - 'Unusual surname - never heard it before - probably extinct now' :-D Another name I have never heard of in my lifetime is that of my gggg grandmother - Scraggleford!!
