Related to someone famous?

[matt]

Hi,
We (FulcrumTV) are making a documentary to accompany the BBC series 'Who do you think you are?", which is being repeated later this year. My remit is to find a person who is related to a famous twentieth century figure. Not so difficult? The catch is that they need to be unaware of their relationship to, say, Wilfred Owen or Enoch Powell or Fred Perry (some random examples for you!)
Therefore, in the first instance it would be great to hear from anyone related to a well known figure from the past, and even better if they had a distant relative who wasn't aware of the family connection. It's a big ask I know, but it must be possible. Suggestions and comments welcome. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Well this must be your lucky day -I'm unaware that I'm related to any of those!

I am related to other famous people but sad to say I'm aware of those so they don't count for your purpose
If you'd like to know of other famous people I'm unaware of being related to please refer to 'Burkes Peerage' and 'Who's Who' because I'm only related to a few of those
