SueMaid am I correct in thinking William Barnard Rhodes Moorhouse VC was the first airman to get a VC?

GA my other half just came in the room and saw your posting and said she knew Mrs Vera Shufflebottom and she ran the village shop. You made her night as she liked her and got on well.

5Exy, my post merely stated the name Shufflebottom.....no mention of a "Vera"................

Should have gone to Spec Savers lol

Yes William was the first airman to receive a VC - sadly posthumously.

GA I know you didnt mention Vera just mentioned other half had heard the name before?

earliest birth is c.1594

2. What surnames are you looking for in your tree?
How long have you got? :D

3. Have you found anybody who is/was famous at any time?
Not really ~THAT~ famous, and still researching this to date, but I believe one branch of the tree was heavily involved in music, have found a Professor of Music at Greenwich University and a noted piano maker in south London from the same branch.

4. Do you have any funny names in your tree?
Elizabeth Kneebone Kelynack!

That's mine, will do Nicky's later

~S~

How far back ... found a long lost sister, followed by brick walls lol

xxx Shimms xxx

How far back .on my side 1677

1540 on my side, ca 1725 on OH's (but need more proof of that last one)


Hughes, Robert, Jones, Wynne, etc etc ........... all in Wales



Possible connection on OH's side to Cuthbert Hayhurst who was on the 2nd Fleet of Quakers to Pennsylvania in 1682...... he died 6 months after arriving, and his descendants were mostly excommunicated from the Quakers in later years.

Now if I can only prove that he is connected to the 1725 birth


nope, no interesting or funny names .................. all very boring, using the same names over and over again


sylvia

1/ One branch to Richard "Lackland" Plantagenet b.1166 d.1216.
