He was a hero for a large section of British society. He was detested by others - who celebrated his death every 5 Nov with a public holiday, merry family days including a lot of baptims and weddings. Then they would dance round his burning effigy and celebrate his death for at least 200 years after 1605:-S :-S

On 13 April 1570 Guy Fawkes, also known as Guido Fawkes, was born in York, he adopted the name while fighting for the Spanish in the Low Countries.

He was part of a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

Oh that he was alive today :-D :-D :-D

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
