Hi, we are Paul and Rebekah Markham. We are married with three children, and 
are currently living in Warwickshire, Great Britain. 
We have only been researching our family trees for around four years, but in 
that time have found: a huge network of Romany gypsies, the gypsy boxer Billy Joe 
Saunders is distantly related; Freemasons; 18th Century smugglers; ancestors from 
Ireland, Canada, Sweden, Australia (including convicts), USA and New Zealand; famous 
footballers (Chris Riggott and Bill Leivers!); a mystery Latvian link; two murderers
(!),and for any of you who know a bit about gardening, the 'Markham Clematis' was 
named after one of Pauls distant ancestors, Ernest Markham. (Ernest was Paul's great 
great grandfathers cousins son!). While in the same family, Mrs Emma Hill (nee 
Grisold)took tea with Queen Victoria in her cottage. Emma's husband was head of the 
Royal kennels at Windsor.
One surprise was the discovery that Paul's ancestor, Sarah Wilkins, married 
into a family of Mormons, and emigrated to Utah, USA in the 1850's. They were 
amongst the first settlers, and are held in high esteem in the Utah region, 
with several biographies written about them.
Much of this wouldn't have been possible without leads, details, and photographs from 
distant living relatives we have come into contact with through sites such as Genes 
Reunited, the RTFHS, Ancestry, and Curious Fox. We're extremely grateful to you all!  
We hope that the info (apparently most of it accurate, apologies if there are any 
inaccuracies but I have never claimed to be a professional!) will help people 
searching the site. 
I'm always happy to hear from fellow researchers, and my direct email address is 
rebekahm28@aol.com.
Many thanks to everyone concerned for your help, and please feel free to sign 
our guestbook!
