A quickie relationship question
My late mother had a sister, X - both girls had the same mother, but may have had different fathers.
The probable father of X was married to the sister of my mother's father. Is X simply my great-uncle ? Or are we more closely related? Thanks Joan |

Flippin' heck Joan lol!
Erm X's father would be your great uncle, but also your great uncle in law via your mother's father's sister

As far as I know, he would be your great uncle because of being married to your great-aunt, but there is no term for the relationship of your aunt's father to you, if she was illegitimate.

Thanks Joan and Kite - LOL
It's blinky HW Wicks At least as a result of rummages yesterday, I no longer think he was my grandfather - at least my mother didn't think he was her father Thank you Joan |

Hi Toni
I found a postcard of St John the Baptist Church, Epping and on th back is written, in my late mother's handwriting- "My parents John A Dowsett and Dorothy Scrutton were married here on August 26th 1916" So although she would never tell me, I am sure my mother must have believed that JD was her father. All my enthusiasm has now returned, and yesterday I sent of for my first crtificate in months! |
