Hiya! I'm Graham Smith, and I live in the market town of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, England with my wonderful wife and our family.

I've had a Wikipedia account since 8th October 2006.

Genealogy edit

I have traced my family's roots back through my maternal grandmother's FAUTLEY line to the SPURR's of Cornwall and the BABOT's of Jersey. My maternal grandfather's line of FEAST also yields some interesting results.

Unfortunately my father was born the wrong side of the blanket and it has therefore proved difficult to verify information on my Yorkshire heritage.

Notable relatives are believed to include:

Sir Bracewell Smith, 1st Baronet KCVO, MP for Dulwich 1932-1945 (1884-1966)
Architect Douglas Oliver Feast RIBA (1919-2002)^[1]
Noel Spurr OAM
Noel Spurr contracted polio in 1956 and was the last child placed in an ironlung in Fairfield Hospital, Victoria, Australia.^[2]

Noel Spurr was elected the 50th and last Mayor of the City of Nunawading, prior to amalgamating with the city of Box Hill to form the new City of Whitehorse, and in 1997 was elected to the inaugural Whitehorse City Council.^[3]

On his appointment to the Health Ethics Committee in 2003, it was announced that "Mr Spurr was Councillor to Whitehorse City Council from 1997-2003 and to Nunawading City Council from 1991-1994. Mr Spurr is an active and past member of a number of organisations and committees representing disabled persons, and has been ministerially appointed to several health and recreation committees. He has also served on the Board of the Municipal Association of Victoria. Mr Spurr was awarded the Order of Australia in 1985."^[4] Mr Spurr had previously served as a member of AHEC from late 2002 until the end of the previous triennium.^[5]
Chartist leader Richard Spurr (1800-1855)
