Shirley -

It certainly makes things interesting in working out family relationship. In
my line there is a gallant I.A. (or was it HEIC) Maj. General who married
three times, all to first cousins of his, two of whom were sisters, having
progeny by each.

My sister was at school with a great friend who informed their headmistress
that her uncle was coming to take them out on Sunday. The headmistress was
slightly disconcerted when a handsome bronzed youth, just one year older
than her pupil, drove up in a (very nearly) vintage Rolls Royce; a certain
amount of fast talking was necessary. (Yes, he truly was her uncle).

Yours Aye Andrew Sellon East Anglia
