Arrrghh!!! Sorry! I completely misread the entry! Those strange characters that look like a bomb with a droopy fuse?  Thought they were " 0 "s. Didn't look much further, as I'm just going on information received.

Either way, he's still a Nutter, and looks to be doing alright.

What does the panel think?

Born 10th November, 1700. Billericay Essex. Out of Jo and Mary.

1851 has him living in Pembury Grove, Hackney. Coal Merchant and Undertaker ( The mind boggles, any way ye look at it!)

One of ours, settled down and made good? Or, did the posh Gray's go round calling their kids " Nutter " 

I took a fleeting glimpse at some tree. It was as expected. But, a glaring Cooper caught my eye on this copy paste looking pedigree.

Opinions, please 

new Hull History Centre? Is that apart from the library now, then?

Either way; What a shame to hear they dropped the catch 

  Please bear with me here. I've simply always had a blind spot with many things. Never mastered the months of the calendar till well into my forties. The concept of cousins and such eludes me too, after my most immediate and personally known ones.

With that in mind then; I grew up knowing an " Uncle Georgie Jeram ". Lovely bloke. He worked with my dad. They clearly were really good friends. More like brothers.

 And, of course, in those days, kids were taught to call All their parents friends 'Uncle and Auntie'. Fact is, I never had a blind clue who George was. And he vanished out of my life when my dad was killed and I was just eleven. End of story, ye might say.

Only; To my astonishment, this game has taken me back to the 1700's, directly back along my dads direct line of his father, grandfather, and so forth. And, guess what?

Back around 1790, my GGGGGrandad married a Frances Jeram!   

So; What, in blazes, would George have been to my dad, in the mid 1900's? It completely befuddles me, trying to in any way grasp the way some connection had carried down so many years. What would the relationship be? 

Uncanny is one word that springs to mind!  Like I say; Am I just missing something obvious?

Thanks.
 

CofE. Kiddy baptised, before the parents married. Does that float, please?

Thanks
