I'm trying to write our family history - both sides - all four sides - all eight, ten, twelve sides...

The crew was complete: it included a Boots--
A maker of Bonnets and Hoods--
A Barrister, brought to arrange their disputes--
And a Broker, to value their goods.
A Billiard-maker, whose skill was immense,
Might perhaps have won more than his share--
But a Banker, engaged at enormous expense,
Had the whole of their cash in his care.
There was also a Beaver, that paced on the deck,
Or would sit making lace in the bow:
And had often (the Bellman said) saved them from wreck,
Though none of the sailors knew how.
There was one who was famed for the number of things
He forgot when he entered the ship:
His umbrella, his watch, all his jewels and rings,
And the clothes he had bought for the trip.

Yes, it's a bit like a Snark Hunt.
My aunt says :
"It just wasn't LIKE that, you stupid young fool."
"But I spoke to the priest and the neighbours and school?"
They don't know - they weren't there ..
"Yes they were.."
"No they weren't"
"YOU were there
"Yes, I was.."
"And that's why I put my foot down - because."
"Margo?"
"Aye, Hen?"
"Ah'm not sae young, now, Margo.."
She says 'Ah ken.'
