Sir Sean Connery, 007

Apparently my maternal Great-Grandparents resided in the same tenement in Fountainbridge.

I would have to choose olympian Nick Skelton as he comes from my home town of Bedworth or Pete Waterman as he's from Coventry. 
Johnson, Crankshaw, Burdett, Shaw, Dawson/Dulson, Whitebread/Whitbread, Drane, Hyett, Holtaway, Thompson, Bodell, Livermore, Gee, Vernon, Smith......the list goes on....and on...and on....

Just picking this one up now.

It might be nice if Liam Neeson did WDYTYA - I remember chasing up a family rumour that our families might be linked in some way. So I went through a whole load of Neeson births in Ballymena when I was having a day in the GRO in Belfast.

I found Liam registered as William John Neeson (b. 7 June 1952) but no truth in the rumour.

It would be neat to see where his pedigree leads round Co. Antrim and beyond.
