My Aunt told me she overheard my Nana (her mother) and a sister (Mamie) talking about their mother Margaret. My g Aunt had commented to my Nana 'Of course our mothers father was the Duke of Buccleuch'    As soon as my g Aunt had gone my aunt asked my Nana if her gran really had been the Duke of Buccleuchs daughter .......reply was 'Your Aunt Mamie doesn't half talk rubbish, her father was a chauffeur with the Duke of Buccleuch'    .....No title for me then

I love the 'chaffeur to the Duke' instead of being the Duke himself !!

Reminds me of my however greats grandfather being the Stephenson who invented The Rocket ... turned out he was (possibly) one of the firemen/stokers on it at some unspecified later date.   Still, a small claim to fame !

Happy birthday to my #3 daughter .... 34 today !   Born in Africa, she took her first bush camping trip aged about three or four weeks !   She's been a bit unorthodox ever since ....
