Charles Frederick Peace
Yes I can claim the infamously named gentleman as a decendant. In fact my maternal grandfather was a nephew of Charlie. Nicknamed the 'Pagannini of crime'. This was because of his talent with the violin. My grandfather being a staunch Salvation Army member, would not allow Charles to be spoken of. In fact he reffered to him as the black sheep of the family. For sure he was on diplay in Madam Tausauds and his violin case (in which he would carry a fold up ladder in to assist in his entry to houses)was and possibly still is on display in the Metropolitan Police Black Museum. So Charles Peace was my mothers fathers uncle.
