A grandson of my 6xGreat-grandmother was John Constable RA

Does this mean you also have a tenuous link to Barbara Windsor?

Yes Mimi Smith was reputed to have had an affair with a student ..it was later so the age difference greater my dad was 18-19 when he was there from 1948 1949
John LENNON was 8-9

An impressionable age .

I was trying to keep that quiet!

Incidentally, the community room at Bures St Mary is called "The Garrad Room"
The Garrad family lived in Bures St Mary (Suffolk) and Bures Hamlet (Essex) for many, many years.

I have always been interested in medieval history, especially the Knights. So it was a huge pleasure to find that I am descended from William Marshall, England's greatest Knight. A year later I traced another line back to El Cid. Absolute bliss.
