I MIGHT be distantly related through (Arthur) Nicholas Winston Soames' second wife Serena Mary Smith. They had a daughter Isabella Soames together.
That means I'm not related to the Soames' (well, only Isabella) or the Spencer-Churchills! Besides, it's not a direct line yet, but I believe there is one. Isabella Soames, Tara Plonker-Plonkingson, James Fitzroy, Earl of Euston (and his son, Henry, Viscount Ispwich) and James Grimston, Viscount Grimston are all direct descendants of Lindsay Eric Smith and Helen Mary Collyer. It's the Collyer family of Chobham, that I'm linked to, via the Fladgate family (who married into the Yeowell family). When I do find a link, it'll be maybe 6th or more cousins anyhow, so I have nothing to worry about! On my mother's side, it's much better, I'm distantly related (4th Cousin 3 Times Removed) to Prof. Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, D.Litt., D.Sc., D.C.L., C.B., F.R.S., F.R.S.E., H.F.E.M.S.

I think you may be a generation out Lee, Nicholas Soames' dad married Winnie's daughter.
James, how can you be related to his daughter but not to him? Is this one of those "I am my mothers son's brother's sister's brother" riddles?

So James,you are distantly related to the Churchills (Nicholas Soames marrying Winston's Daughter) and one branch of the family marrying into another branch does sound like you have aristocratic blood in your veins.  Edited by Man Erg - October 14 2007 at 04:31 |

When I want to watch a DVD, why the f
 do I have to sit through 5 twing minutes of warnings telling me I'm a naughty ing boy and that piracy is stealing  . If I had pirated the fing thing I wouldn't have to sit through this bull. Then there comes the "please don't sue us" warning in case some 3rd assistant tea boy says something dodgy on one of the commentaries. By the time I've sat through all this I'm too annoyed to watch the ing thing

I am so FU*KING pissed.
I went out to a movie to find my account had a balance of -$32 which was......well alot lower than it should be. Freaking out I got hacked or something, I check my account online to see all thesepurchases I never made.
Eventually we figured out, the bank put my Dad's new card on MY account.
I'm glad its not fradulent but the f*cking bank cost me $1500, (and my whole account)

I wasn't complaining about him, it's his annoying daughter! I know what he looks like, 'cause he was supporting her on that singing thing she did. Bless him and his wife though, they do seem pleasant enough. Tara seems a nice lass, but well... she's not really my type of woman at all, I'm afraid.
How? I don't know who she is... is she worse then? Edited by Geck0 - October 13 2007 at 22:08 |

Hmm...
I MAY (I am pretty sure I am), very distantly related to annoying socialite and dappy-brained (maybe) millionaire, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson... I do not like this fact! I'm also likely to be related to Nicholas Soames... yes, him... help me! I am talking very distant though, when I find the link, which I am pretty sure exists. These individuals are in my family tree by right, due to the fact my family married into another branch of my family (well, that seems to be case, even though I cannot find it yet), so are also likely to be blood relatives too. A further back branch of this branch, had a descendant who married into a Bankers family, who of course, had reasonably high status, so married highly too. I don't think I like the prospect of being related in any way to Tara Plonker-Plonkerson... how ever distant it is. Why me?! Help! |

'sokay dude, don't fret about it these things happen. chill.
there is always that nagging thought that it might have been someone who knows you and still bears a grudge from years ago when you beat him at conkers or something equally trivial.
