	Not in my tree but my granddads step father and his family were living next to the hotel on the Isle Of Wight where Frederick Treaves the doctor who treated the elephant man was staying with his family in 1881 does that count lol. And again not in my tree but my grandmother who died in 1918 worked in service in Kensington for a family called Ropes and I looked up the father Arthur Reed Ropes on google a couple of months ago and found he was a famous lyricist who went under the name of Adrian Ross!!!, she had his photo in her album and for years I thought he was a family member until I found the website and the same picture is on there. Jenny And I actually have a Merrick family but no Joseph.
