Hello
I am not sure whether this is the right place to post this thread......however
My late mother was always curious to know whether or not her humble family - Haines, was related to Sir Frederick Paul Haines 1819 -1909 (the youngest Army officer to become a Field Marshall and C-in-C India). Well he was. I discovered yesterday after some years of researching that her mother, Dorothy Lilian's great garndfather and Sir Fred were cousins (ie their fathers were brothers) all being born in Kirdford, Sussex. We also have a picture of him
This important connection will, I think, make it easier to find their antecedents
Trouble is how do I tell my mother!!!
