Sure, i think Claire was concentrating on our own descendents which included our mothers family, called Harland but at the time of her research she lived in London close to Somerset House. In fact I think she started this research over 6 yrs ago.
May I know the name of your son in law and who his father was? Im assuming we must know one another or of one another, Im now 63yrs and live in Hong Kong.
I never knew my grandfather but I did know his wife, Grannie Robson, and they did live in Clifton Avenue, Hartlepool. Thomas and Margaret had a daughter called Margaret, (Muff), my father Robert (Robin), Philip (Pip), twins, John and Stanley. All have died but their children, my cousins were all christened with the name English Robson. Im unsure whether their children are also christened with English Robson.
As I understood it somebody called Jane English married a Robson generations ago and this couple decided to keep joint surnames. But how accurate that info is Ive no idea. "English" was never my surname, simply a middle name.
