My husband's 2x great grandfather was a famous silversmith Charles Boyton, as was his father and his son. More importantly his aunt is the President of the British BeeKeepers Association and has no less than 3 Blue Peter badges WOW. His mother is also related to the Home family ( Sir Alec Douglas-Home- ex-Prime Minister) My daughters are so envious!! My only claim to fame was that I worked for lots of very famous people. I also had a boyfriend who was the film director son of the executive producer of 'Lolita and Dirty Dozen' to name but a few of his films. Louise

Lynn she maybe a relation some where in the tree, but I have never met her, she used to send my hubby records signed, when he left his 1st wife he forgot to take the collection with him (dohnut) and when he went back for them she had thrown them away (even bigger dohnut) so now he has lost the lot.
