I suppose you know that Anna Sewell (1820-78), author of "Black
Beauty" lived in Catton, Norwich c1877. I often cycle past her house, and
through the meadow which was allegedly the inspiration for the novel.
Catton is, and was a very small village, it is quite possible that you may
be related to this great lady. Her house is a listed building and a minor
tourist attraction.
