Yes! And I’m very proud to be his distant cousin (we’ve never met)

This could prove a very interesting Xmas family reunion for you haha

Does everyone in your family have this level of patience/professionalism?

Casselden is the best man for this job !

Dates and the like seem to be new and confusing to both of them.

I assume they could not tell Sally about the statement until he had actually given them one - Sally said she knew about this in June. ( from my memory)

Is that a respectful shirt to wear to court? This isn't a tiki lounge, pal. Look around.

For those catching up later: he has been caught red handed hiding his drivers license and having a relationship with Marion from the police (in his first interview) due to the fact his wife was there and he obviously did not want her to know.

 

[Behrnsy]

I think he's met his match with St Casseldon.

The is this story.

I'm taking it all with a grain of salt.

I knew it! He is not really WW. I hope they test his DNA to find relatives.
Already storytelling to distract from the question.

 

[MrsEmmaPeel]

BS.

 

[caitlincurious]

Man doesn't even know his birth name. No wonder names don't matter to him.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Oh poor thing, an orphan.

 

[caitlincurious]

His birth record was burnt in bombings. How utterly convenient!

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Tall tale teller.

Haha, I wish! He’s a third cousin once removed (I think) My mum’s cousin is the family historian and he has been in contact with Casselden’s father before.

Orphanage for 12 years - says Maria Coppenole was his birth mother

 

[mishy66]

1905-12-13 Desire Jean-Pierre Joseph David born Gelinden, Limburg, Belgique Father
1913-10-17 Maria Coppenolle born Ramegnies-Chin, Hainaut, Belgique Mother

This has always been my view of his parents

Get your notebooks out, folks, we can spin a bestseller.

Weren’t they cousins yesterday?
