Hi,

I have just joined this Site and really want to find out the background to Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, as I am also a Plant, and the similarity in our Looks is just amazing!

I was also born in Staffs. (Dudley) in 1931., and had a half brother who was 8 years older than myself. However, I was brought up in the Orphanage there.

i can send a photo of myself later.

Regards, John Plant

Robert Plant must have had a big house in 1888:

Thanks for that link, what a wonderful idea for a blog!

The mansion and grounds were indeed rather grand 1888, sadly 90 years later not so much.

Thanks a lot for that. Would you mind if I included that picture in the blog?

[MPlant-Staffs]

Go for it, it's an image that I believe is in the public domain in any case.

If you'd like some background information on the mansion and grounds, here is a link to a pdf of an article I wrote last year for a local magazine.

Hi to everyone researching the plants. My ancestry is Francis Plant . I was wondering if anyone knew his wife's maiden name and if people want to compare notes on Robert James and Francis's forefathers.

I presume you have all heard of the plant family history group. They have an interesting genetic study that seems to say all plants are descended from one person. On their site there is also an interesting section on robert's colourful tale.

If anyone has any other interesting stories, i would be happy to here.
