I'm depressed now - and it's your fault, Al!

I thought I'd have a go at the 'google yourself' trick.

The first entry read : ' Jillian Russell is a beautiful young singer/dancer set to take the world by storm'.

I'm not!   :'(

Jill

Oh, so you must be the Jillian Russell who is a beautiful young singer/dancer who has already taken the world by storm.  ;D

Dave - If that really is your photograph, you should charge the BBC for the use of it.  ::)

I haven't googled myself yet, but read the initial thread and was curious so went to the site mentioned.  Guess what, a relatives GG grandfather, Edwin Shepherd b1838 South HUish, Devon served on the HMS Clio in 1861.  On teh census it was listed as being in Guayamas Harbour, West Coast of Mexico.

Also I notice that Jillruss has an ancestor, a Shepherd as his profile picture.  Any links do you think?

Thanks for thinking of me, Nad, but my Shepherds came from Aberdeen. I have another lot of Shepherds from Notts but none anywhere near Devon - more's the pity. It would have been a nice excuse for a visit to Devon and a few cream teas!!  ::)

Hi Lizzie,
Yes it is my photo, it is on a local Shipley site along with some others, but nothing to do with the BBC.
I will as for 10p off my next license  ;D
