Another issue is that perhaps someone was hanged with the same family name so he was claimed as a relation when he was not!
Rather like my mother saying she was related to John Sainsbury and Cyrus and James Clark when extremely unlikely to be the case, or my gran saying she was related to Bombardier Billy Wells despite refusing to acknowledge that she was related to the other Wells in her family (her mother and mother's ancestors).
