Not precisely "ancestors", but definitely (even if somewhat distant) cousins - the lines split around 1700 or so

Snatched these off the SA website in haste. I have a much better printed copy of the one with George - who appears somewhat the dandy. The photo of William suffers some distortion - I may crop him out and stretch it vertically a bit.

SA had a "company magazine" (at least during WW1) called "The Armorer" which must be VERY scarce as I have found virtually NO information via any of the common search engines. I suspect that William's group pic comes from that publication.

Chuck - if you ever turn up any references to that magazine, I'd be grateful if you made me aware of same. Thanks.
