I was goin...But the same gravity applied Michael ?<br /><br />I was going to email you as it happens. Completely off thread but what are blogs for when no one else is commenting ?<br /><br />Book the Giant of Oldbourne.<br /><br />I found it mentioned on the Newbourn Church site. My late Grandmother (Waldringfield) and her family were visited as part of the author research in the 1920s. <br /><br />Grandma's recall was that the author thought her Great Grandfather (or Great great grandfather reputedly seven feet tall) was an ancestor of the Page brothers (Seven foot seven and seven foot four)<br /><br />There are apparently some questions whether the Pages shared common ancestry with Robert Hales the Norfolk giant (seven feet eight) whose mothers relatives Mary and Ann Laskey were 7 feet tall. Hales sister Mary was seven feet two. <br /><br />I will email you a piccie of my grandson aged seven months Michael from which you will see how the above research is fueliing a good old wind up of my daughter. He is in clothes for a two to three year old already. Daughter now wondering if a giant gene from her great Grandmother Suffolk side has emerged again ... the food bills !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-18936352013618463552009-10-27T19:19:01.692+00:002009-10-27T19:19:01.692+00:00Thanks 16.04 and Rick I believe I should point out...Thanks 16.04 and Rick I believe I should point out that the geology of the Brighton cliff that collapsed is very different from that on our Eastcliff, the Brighton cliff it is not made entirely of chalk but is made up of an ancient beach material, sand, chalk and fossils.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-40790738674309638152009-10-27T16:21:42.403+00:002009-10-27T16:21:42.403+00:00The Brighton Incident Press report
