Kelly - I should have said that Arthur Richard Betts was my great grandfather on my mother's side. Arthur's daughter Hilda Dora Betts was my grandmother. Her daughter Hilda Mabel Smith married my father Samuel Fyffe in London during the War. I remember when grandmother Hilda Dora visited us in New Brunswick when we were small children. In 1901 Hilda Dora, age 11, and Penrose (adopted) were staying together in a boarding house in Tovil with their father Arthur Richard Betts.

I believe that makes your husband and myself third cousins once removed. From an adoption point of view, Penrose would be my great uncle.
