	Historical Biographies, Nova Scotia: Edward Bradstreet (c.1711-74). (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		John Bradstreet's father, Edward Bradstreet, of Irish descent, was, it would appear, with the British forces when they attacked and took Port Royal in 1710.
		His biographer, Godfrey, was to observe, "It was a much more polished, discrete, and aware John Bradstreet who sailed for the American colonies in 1755."5 This, presumably, was because Bradstreet had spent close on to four years in England becoming more polished: he was in 1755, 44 years of age.
		John Bradstreet was to marry the widow of his cousin, who, was also named John Bradstreet -- which, of course, causes confusion to amateur genealogists.

	Admiral Benbow's Geneology
		John if 15 when his father died might well have needed to work as an apprentice, especially if the family had lost their estates and had no family business to fall back on.
		John Benbow(e) was stated to be the son of Thomas Benbow(e) of Newport in Shropshire.
		As the dish dates from 1680 and was donated to the Church by Catherine, the Admiral's daughter, it is logical to assume it belonged to the Admiral and is an accurate representation of the Arms he used.

	M (James Bond) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the later books, written by John Gardner, M/Messervy protects Bond from the new, less aggressive, climate in the Secret Service, saying that "sometime this country will need a blunt instrument." In the movies, the relationship is similar.
		The character of M is apocryphally based on Rear Admiral John H. Godfrey who was the Director of the British Department of Naval Intelligence during World War II.
		Godfrey and Fleming were close friends and on first name terms, unlike M and Bond in the novels.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem
		As the common property of Christendom it retained its international character to the end, although the French element predominated among the feudal lords and the government officials, and the Italians acquired the economic preponderance in the cities.
		Godfrey of Bouillon, elected Lord of Jerusalem, 22 July, 1099, did not assume the royal crown and died 18 July, 1100, having strengthened the new conquest by his victory over the Egyptians at Ascalon (12 August, 1099).
		In 1459 Charlotte, daughter of John III, King of Cyprus, married Louis of Savoy, Count of Geneva, and in 1485 ceded her rights to Jerusalem to her nephew Charles of Savoy; hence, from that time up to 1870, the title of King of Jerusalem was borne by the princes of the House of Savoy.

	Major-General Sir Stewart Graham Menzies
		Otto John, former head of the West German counter-espionage, asserts that in 1954 Soviet agents kidnapped him solely to determine whether Philby was not, after all, a double-agent, betraying the Russians to the British.
		Godfrey was, in any case, reluctant to leave the Admiralty, and after almost a month's lobbying in Whitehall Menzies won the succession battle.

		In November 1914 [Rear Admiral] Oliver was promoted and was succeeded in his post [of Director of Naval Intelligence/DNI] by the forty-four-year-old 'Blinker' Hall.
		It was therefore not surprising that his friend and commanding Admiral, the dashing Sir David Beatty, was very upset when, after only two months of war, Hall's health broke down and he had to ask to be relieved of his command.
		A young man's recollections of a single meeting with a retired admiral are not of course of any great significance, but Blinker Hall, as Director of Intelligence from 1914 to 1918, made an equally striking impression on many more mature and better informed contemporary observers.
