I too am a newcomer to this website and am making this third post in order to enable the pm facility
The Denny legend and the bitterness was also talked about in my family.
Most of the Denny family were in service including one a footman at Windsor

Hi, I am from Australia and trying to trace my Denny Side of the family.  We have always believed we were from London and outside Cambridge.  The family legend goes that Frederick Thomas stood in the corner and bitterly cried about the family being disinherited from the aristocratic side of the family etc. Something about a son of an earl having an affair with the maid.  However, after 100 years have discovered no such fun, but that Fred  thomas married Amelia Mary Morris "Mary" to us and his dad was Charles Thomas who married Rebecca Hill. I would like to confirm the link though and hope I am not going off on a tangent as they did 100 years ago.  Who was Charles Thomas and how long have this branch of the Dennys lived in Suffolk. And if anyone could tell me why his grandchildren seemed to be unhappy and bitter  (as this part of the legend is true).
