Competition time - I've just discovered a connection to someone very very famous.
Let's see if you can guess who it is....
NL and the other ladies on here are going to love this. That was the first clue- the person is male......
Ps no connection to the Black Country, so you can't claim him for BCC!

The background:
My fourth cousin, once removed (according to FTM) was this persons aunt (she was married to his paternal uncle).
My distant cousins father in law was born in Birmingham, and is also famous (but still no connection to the Black Country)

This persons father wrote quite a few books under a pseudonym
