You hear a conversation about trees and assume its family trees, not the wood and leaf variety. Happened to me recently very embarrassing  ;D.

Been there! And we are!!
Barbara Windsor is related to me; somehow!
We are both related to John Constable RA, and both have families emanating from Bures St Mary, Suffolk.

Well, work it out quick, while she's still alive.

Sir Donald Sinden was undoubtedly a reasonably close relative of mine (no more than fifth cousins, but probable a bit closer with a remove or two) ... but he went and died before I could tie it down exactly, didn't he!! Don't let Babs do the same to you.

I could be related to Babs Windsor, her Deeks line vanish from Bures before 1726 and allegedly originate in Glemsford where my Deeks came from. Need to try and confirm this for sure.

Barbara's 3rd Great Grandfather was Golding Deeks, who was born in Bures in 1806.
The family had moved to Bethnal Green before 1834, when John Golding Deeks was born.
