How amazing!!
My husband's g. grandfather was James Henry Vashti Grattan married to Bona Crago !! Mike's father was William Lockley Grattan, he was the youngest son of Caroline Emily Farr and Henry Grattan. So Mike and your husband must be cousins.
Mike always thought the Farrs were Welsh.Can you shed any light on the origins of the Grattans?
Are you in New Zealand?
