Martyn Freedman: 1946

 

A story from PJ & Neilan:

 

PJ: After Ethel Selmonsky Jaker and Martyn Freedman met, they carried on a robust correspondence for decades.  Martyn signed one of his earliest notes – “Your second?  third? Cousin (I still haven’t worked it out.)”

 

Neilan: Martyn Freedman (1927 – 2002) was married to Lillian Selmonsky, Sam Selmonsky’s daughter.

Sam Selmonsky was Philip Selmonsky’s brother.

That means Martyn & Ethel were first cousins.
