CHAPTER ONE – A FAMILY LESS ORDINARY

Pinnegar family tree

Tony Pinnegar’s birth certificate, copy issued in 1961. Note his name is recorded as Anthony George Blood. He would not be known as Anthony Pinnegar until he was eleven or twelve years of age, when his school principal announced this arbitrary change to his identity in front of the school assembly.
