At least I know who I'm not...

A note on the Robert Longmans that I am not :

1. I was not the lead live broadcast engineer at the BBC for many years, who was instrumental in their live casts of Parliament sessions. He was, in many ways, a broadcast pioneer.


2. I was not the town smithy in Easington UK in the 1850s.
   Nor am I his probable ancestor who married a woman named Mary, who soon after his death married the son of the Rector of Easington, Thomas Mallory, in the 1650s.

7. I was not the son (1785 - 1850) of William & Matilda Longman.

9. I am not the president of Central Surveys Inc.


10. I do not head the Australian Electoral Office.


11. I was not he who agreed to the Protestation of 1641, in Stalbridge, Dorset UK -- nor would I have done so.


12. I was not his probable descendant, a woodman from Hilton in Dorset, who at the time of the 1881 census was an inmate at the Poole Union Workhouse.


13. I am not a credit officer at the Rural Community Assistance Corp. (though I have read articles related to his work)


14. I am not the Laparoscopic Surgeon in Bristol UK.

22. I am not the consultant who was quoted in several news reports as having heard the Cory Lidle plane crash.


23. I was not the 1800s British thief (whose real name, as far as I can tell, was Phineas Henry).

27. Guitarist Richard Durrant's record label was not named after me or my family.

29. That sure wasn't me who was a leading character played by Linus Roache in the British TV show Seaforth.


30. I did not publish scandal rags (newspaper/flyers) in New York in the 1900s. (Though I may be related to him.)


31. So far as I can tell, I am not related to the Longman family that founded a major publishing company in the UK. (If someone has other information, I'd love to know.)


32. and, I most certainly, absolutely am not the one who, under the apparent pen name Bob Longman, wrote the rated multiple "X" so-called 'underground classic' book titled 'The Debutante Whore'. (Believe it or not, I get occasional emails asking me about that.)
