I have been trying to trace my dads side of the family for years now, an uphill battle as dad was in care from the age of 18 mths and never knew his Family.
Recently I was lucky enough to find his fathers ( my grand fathers ) death certificate.
I started reading it with interest  but when I got to the informant part of the  certificate the hairs stood up on the back of my neck for the signature of the informant not only had the same name as me ( a j Berryman ) but the signature was mine or at least exactly the same identical even down to the same capitalization and spacing, no kidding this guy could have signed my cheques without anybody batting an eyelid, the guy who signed it was his son by his second marriage ( my step uncle ) a total coincidence but still spooky I think.

Every working day I walked along Mill Lane, Reading, past number 5.
I didn't have to go that way, but for some reason I just did.
Since starting my research I found that was where Sam and Eliza had lived before moving to Percy Place around 1901.
