Dan featured on a 2008 episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, which I
obviously missed. He was interviewed for a local Worcester newspaper
around the same time, when he revealed other famous ancestors such as
Shakespear's Earl of Southampton and Edward II's undo-er Roger
Mortimer:

Interesting stuff.

Maj-Gen Coke's wife was a descendant of (amongst others) the 2nd Baron
Hervey of Ickworth, father to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th earls of Bristol.

Daniel Robert Snow is a son of a 8th cousin of Edwina Louise
Grosvenor.

Indeed, Edward, Baronet Bayly and his wife Dorothy Lambart are at the
same time
ancestors of the 9th generation of Edwina Louise Grosvenor
ancestors of the 10th generation of Daniel Robert Snow


Daniel Robert Snow is also a 12th cousin of Edwina Louise Grosvenor.

Indeed, Theophilus Howard, Earl of Suffolk and his wife Elizabeth Home
are at the same time
ancestors of the 13th generation of Edwina Louise Grosvenor
ancestors of the 13th generation of Daniel Robert Snow

Dan Snow's kinship combinations are infinite of course but it's nice
to see a few examples exemplified here. Thanks
