Who was this man and why would my grandma say they are related? Her mum was called Hilda Kellaway and she was born on the Isle of Wight - her father was a mariner as was his father (a master mariner). Hildas dad got married in Scarborough to Charlotte Newsome.
I have googled this man and indeed he did exist - but how / why would she know him - we are certainly not royalty!!
Could it be possible that as mariners they sailed his boats / yachts / ships?
How could I go about proving a connection - to be honest I don't think there is one (although my grandmas birth certificate does say father unknown!)
Do you think it is worth pursuing or could it just be a pipe dream on her part?
