    I like to tell people I am related to two Kings. However, they were Rachel and Mary (both my great great grandmothers) and their siblings married....... Not really a regal connection, is it?o_O

    Several years ago I was reading Fire Down Below, the first book in a trilogy by William Golding, and suddenly on page 158 I came upon Dismal Jimmy. Much to my amazement I discovered that said dismal gentleman was my 3xgreat-granduncle, Admiral James Gambier, a gentleman apparently of almost morbid, religious principle.
