Can you find any? I know that THE Winston Churchill was on Boer war duty, but there were 5 Winston Churchills on the 1901 census - all under 2 years! Why did the name suddenly become fashionable? Clement Attlee was an 18 year old student. Where are the royals? The only Saxe-Coburg was an iron moulder in Surrey! Edward Elgar 43 was a composer of music. Willaim (WG) Grace was a Physician and Surgeon in Lewisham.
