Georgina - that's a really good link - thanks Vanessa - you've really made my head hurt! I think it makes you 3rd cousins by marriage(? but wouldn't like to stake my life on it!), but then again you might not be related at all, or he could be your brother!!!

Georgina, thanks for the link. I spent quite some time looking for something similar the other day but this explains it all wonderfully.
