A Remarkable Coincidence

Posted Wednesday, April 6th, 2016 at 12:14

This is one of the most remarkable coincidences I have ever come across. Certainly the most extraordinary coincidence involving me.

Cleaning out my office this morning, I found a copy of an indenture of sale dated 1923.

It related to Murmur-y-Don, our house in Harlech which was bought by my hên nain (great-grandmother) Jane Williams in 1923, from a Thomas Wilks of Ewshot House, Ewshot, near Farnham, 250 miles away.

Ewshot House, Ewshot, near Farnham was bought a few years ago by my niece Emily and her husband Alex Vaughan. We spent last Christmas there!

I am gobsmacked.

That’s just a fantastic story and one in which your hên nain must be reveling.

Yet more — Wilks’s sons Spencer and Maurice, who must have played at Murmur-y-Don as children, went on to invent the Land Rover. And their mother put her profession down in the 1911 census as ‘Suffragette’.
