Famous Names In Your Family
Currently undertaking that age old hobby you take up when you realise you are probably in the second half of your life.. tracing family roots.
 My great grandma was called Elizabeth Taylor. Any famous names in your family tree ?

The Nolans were a pop group. The seventies equivalent to Girls Aloud...except they all had Irish accents, and came from Blackpool. Bernie Nolan has gone on to carve out a career as a stage and television actor, appearing in Brookside and The Bill, and Blood Brothers amongst other things.
