A Great Uncle who was a footballer and featured on a cigarette card.

A famous singer in the 50s, maternal side. An illustrious 17th century Judge, who founded a local school.

A famous clairvoyant.

My very beautiful great aunt was murdered on a beach at lytham st Anne’s on Christmas Eve 1919. She was shot by a lover who encouraged her to take out a life insurance. He was arrested and found guilty of her murder. He pleaded not guilty due to insanity but failed and he was hanged. He was defended by a famous London barrister and his plea and the definition of insanity changed British law. There are songs and poems written about her and a radio programme on BBC 4 last year detailed the trial.
I don’t think that she was actually famous but the barrister was and the trial was followed closely in the papers.

And one Great Uncle who was not exactly famous, but was a Titanic survivor.

None of my lot are famous anyway…..

One an entertainer and one a journalist.

Nope. Not one. Or not that I’m aware of.

A football manager - related by marriage.
