On his side of the family, it's mostly a bunch of Bristolian merchants that made their fortune, before it got taken over to Australia. Going further back it's all pirates, smugglers and wreckers with a noteable exception in a chap called Colonel Blood. Stan Laurel is my gran's cousin of a few steps remove.
My dad's side is all highland sheep crofters, though the clan history is pretty spectacular.

Alt: Lunch was early and consisted of griddled chicken and cous cous.
Altalt: Depends - I like a good soak in the bath when weary. I also like a power shower to help me wake up in the morning.
Altaltalt: My Paternal grandmother was into this kind of thing. The family (at least on my father's side) are supposedly descended from North German mercenaries who bolstered up William The Conqueror's troops. However, I think she was probably just a batty old woman.
