I have the same famous Australian Cricketer (as Deb I suspect) who was Captain of the Aussie Team in the late 50's early 60's. His mother is still alive and she's 103!
Also recently deceased motor racing legend Peter Brock.
And most famously so far but very distantly ... of Clavering Essex .... Sarah Chesham also known as Sally Arsenic (hung in 1851 for the arsenic death of her husband). More details attached http://www.essex.police.uk/museum/history_05.htm

My family are rather boring really, just the Liz Taylor and a Clara Butt.
The Clara Butt (not sure if she's mine) was a famous singer at the turn of the 20th century. Aparently Clara was 6' tall as well, which I find the most interesting thing. The average height for a man was probably around 5'8" or 9".
