I met Jason Donovan and was glad to watch his episode of WDYTYA.

Patsy Kenist is a relative of mine, a distant cousin through her Cracknell line of Finchingfield so liked her one.

Ah, there are some over there I believe, but I'm not sure of any names or relationships, and it'd be about 4 or 5 generations back. None that I know of were ever transported, "my" mob seem to have been the most boringly respectable ancestors anyone could have, not an "interesting" one amongst them.
That's in part what I mean about no well-known relatives, on any line. It's not fair, is it?
As all of that surname originated in one small  area of northern England, and almost all are related back in the late 1600s, you'd hope for someone well-known in all that time, if not on that line, then on another.
postscript: My rellies? In court? No, never, unless on the bench or the jury!

ah okay. My Victorian Henman's lived in Bedfordshire. Most of them stayed there but part of the family branched out into Oxfordshire which is where Tim and his ancestors were based.

Charlotte was born 1838 in Kent so I guess no link.
