I am related to The Krays Twins who acted as lords of The East End in the 1950s and 1960s.
i have found out recently that a cousin of mine was married to the best friend and closest confidant of a richardson of the richardson gang. (not sure which brother it was though) so does that make us sworn enemies and rivals then
Might do.
In 1804 the Kray Twins ancestor Mary Obey wed in 1804 and one of the witnesses was my ancestor Samuel Obey. Samuel also witnessed a few other of his childrens marriages. His signature was pretty much bang on in all of them. And when Mary Obey's daughter wed in 1827 my 1783 born ancestor's brother William Obey witnessed the wedding.
