Just looked up a birth 2 generations back on my husbands family and on the same quarter, same year, there is someone from my family. This was in Sussex and the last generation on both sides were born in London. How amazing that 2 generations later we met and married. Linda

Aaaawwwww nice! lol How's this for a coincidence - if you can get your head round it! My PATERNAL 2x great Grandfather's half sister married a Samuel Walgate. My PATERNAL 2x great Grandfather and his brother are lodging with one of Samuel's brothers on the 1901 census. My MATERNAL great Grandfather married twice. His first wife's mother married another one of Samuel's brothers. Counting my thumbs as we speak! lol Jeanette x

The house that my gran is living in aged 3 on the 1901 census, is the same one that my great grandad's brother (on the other line) is living in on the 1891!!! Trudy
