Cable Family

[Nicholas Shillaker]

Colin:

Just spotted that you recently updated your relationship chart.

You have added Anthony N Cable, son of Frank Nevill Cable.
Last year I exchanged a couple of emails with a Tony Cable, whose father's name is Nevill. He didn't seem to know anything off-hand about his Cable ancestry.
I see you've placed two children for him, so it looks like you have been in contact as well. What did he have to say?

I freely admit to being something of a data parasite when it comes to family history.

My improved extrapolation of the Harry/Alice Cable clade is down to the splendid work of Nick Frost.

I'm still unclear as to whether the "Harry" reported by my grandmother as being often spoken of and visited by Frank Brown (her father) was his brother or his son, but the son seems to me most likely, although further evidence of contact between Frank and his first son(s?) is currently somewhat lacking.
