Recently I met and talked with Ron Watkins (born 1920 Ruardean) and his wife Patricia (Hale) who live not far from me in Perth Western Australia. Ron has the common ancestors of John Watkins (born 1811) and Comfort COLE (born 1807 Welsh Bicknor) with me.

We go back nearly 200 years to when John and Comfort were born but some how some of their descendants after the family members go living in various directions two of them end up living a stones throw from each other on the other side of the world.

I wonder how many people we pass in the street that we share an ancestor with!
