I also have a brother who is a Kevin Shucksmith who lives at Norwich now and a sister who is a Jane Shucksmith before she got married and became a Grun. I'm based up in Scotland at Oban for the next 3 years studying for a PhD in marine science. So there are a lot of Shucksmith's in Lincolnshire does this mean we are all related in some shape or form? ------Name: bell : Email: [email protected]
