Is it legal for a man to marry his half-brothers daughter?

Thanks Jill, I'll taken a look at a few charts like this, but it doesn't seem to show this type of relationship (unless I'm missing something)

Brilliant, exactly.... seems that half relatives did get away with it although technically not allowed.... explains my 2x great grandparents as she appears to be the daughter of his half-brother.

Thanks Carol
