Family Tree

Diane loves genealogy and has invested hours pursuing family lines, mostly on her side, and posting information on Genes Reunited and Ancestry.co.uk.
Gene, despite his appropriate name, is sceptical, partly because he’s like that, partly for his reasons.
"Family Tree” is perhaps the wrong term here. “Family Bush” might be better. It’s wider than it is long, twice as wide as it should be, in fact, because of the Pardoe Connection.
The length is five generations, stepping back two to D&G's grandparents, forward two to their grandchildren, each generation consisting of individuals, spouses, their siblings, (and cousins, not included in the “Bush“). Generation is not concerned with age.
Diane and Gene, being the reference, are of Generation 0. Their parents and grandparents are of Generations -1 and -2 respectively, their children and grandchildren +1 and +2 respectively.
The “Bush” consists of individual families, meaning a couple and any children they have, each spanning, at most, two generations. So, any given individual can appear in two families, as child and as parent, whilst remarriage could increase the number.
Families are numbered, as are individuals. This isn’t aimed at depersonalisation, (remember The Prisoner? He was Number 6, that‘s you Salome!). Ease of reference is the intention, and a List of Individuals, (Bush People), accompanying the “Bush” will either make things clearer, or not!

Root & Branch

William (1) hated dogs and once flattened one that was yapping at his heels by releasing the string with which he was carrying a bundle of logs over his shoulder.
Alice (2) was the best sock knitter in the world. She made all Gene's football socks up to 1958.
Frank (19) was good at tap dancing and played a mean double bass.
Leslie (20) cut off the end of one of his fingers with a circular saw.

The numbering of individuals follows from the “natural” order of families within generations, based on surnames and age. This means that it would be possible for a person’s number to change, as, for example, when someone with a preceding number is irresponsible enough to produce offspring requiring a preceding number too, but as yet unlisted.
The arrival of great grandchildren would lengthen the “Bush“, but D&G don’t intend going back further than the aforementioned two generations, though information along those lines is to be found elsewhere.
This might seem an unusual way in which to present a “Family Tree”, but at least all known skeletons are out of cupboards. Come in Number 9!

Change of mind on this...see foot of page.

Kenneth (30) was good at snooker, but a rubbish coach. His only advice for judging angles; "Hit it where it shines!"
Audrey (32) could knit at twice light speed without moving.

Jack (21) was lost at sea in June 1944 when HMS Boadicea was torpedoed in the English Channel.
Barbara (23) took part in the launching of a ship.

Ethel (10) was a bit naughty, bless her! If she hadn't been this website wouldn't be here. The existence of (9) was a secret until 1996. His identity remains unknown.
Harold (7) and Audrey (32) (among others), both married twice, but their second marriages are not included here, being of no significance in this context. Ethel (10), Gene (46), Geoffrey (48) and Diane (52) are the only "Bush People" at the present time to have had children with more than one partner, (as far as is known).

William (12) missed more train destinations through falling asleep than anyone else on the planet.
Beatrice (13) was expert

at blowing smoke rings, (a "dying" art)!

Edna (40) strutted her amateur stuff on stage and swam in the sea at Whitley Bay each New Year's Day.

Marjorie (44), known throughout the Universe as "Mrs P", was the most dangerous driver of all time.
And that was in a"bubble car"!

Mrs P, the true Mrs P, was the one who worked at Bletchley Park during The War.

He had a trial for Plymouth Argyll and was funny too.
Brian (49) was just a bit better at joke telling though.
Geoffrey (48) loves models. Don't tell his wife!
Christine (53) rings bells.

Derek (47) was a good footballer and played for the Navy.

Philip (56) is the only person who can sing "Little Donkey" leaving the tune recognisable while sounding every note wrong! (Recording extant).
Katherine (58) invented "wamials", as in "two by two"; nicked by Gene in his recent song "The Rap Of God".
Simon (63) wore "flubs" on his hands. Mark (61) didn't and sucked his thumb so much he

sucked it off, (to coin a phrase)! The one he has now is a transplant!

of "Evesham" (3 syllables).
He is unique in "The Bush", being genetically related to more "Bush People" than any other and being the only one to share common family relatives with all the others.
