We are very Italian looking and have Thalassaemia (Mediterranean Anaemia) which clearly indicates some blood from there.  My grandma used to say "we have Corsican cousins" but I never knew where they came from.

Forgot to say, I was particularly interested in the bit where you mention an ancestor was 'dark skinned'.  Did you mean black or just had dark colouring??

My Ancestor was Casper Lemmer's brother Heinrich who was one of the travelling musicians, and who also married and settled in London.  Thanks for all this useful info about the family.  Maybe the info I have about Heinrich will shed some light too - its all on Ancestry.com.  Heinrich (Henry) Lemmer became a hairdresser, working and living at 140 Portnall Road, W1.
