Sara You say "this isn't possible". Does that mean you are aware that Sir Isaac Newton never married and didn't have children. So, a connection of the extended family perhaps but not a descendant of the great man himself.

Judith Nothing new there. My ex family said they were descended from William Blake and they (son, father and grandfather) had been given the middle name of Blake. I have searched William Blake and found he never had any children. So it beats me how they could be descended from him. I also recalled watching the Antiques Road show where one lady, from Jersey, said she was descended from William Blake. I never even met or knew about her when I was still with my ex Victor On 18/05/2014 10:32 AM, Judith Harper wrote: > Sara > > You say "this isn't possible".
