I'll do some 'guess the person' type stuff then - clues towards a well known person, that I can add to over time to make it progressively easier. I'll try and do five different people at once;

1. Born in Yorkshire in 1934
2. Middle names are Robert Joseph
3. An American with German, English and Irish ancestors
4. Husband died in a road accident
5. Parents are called Michael and Carole

Good luck!

I figured it was partial ancestry. Oh! You mean a Kenyan with German, English and Irish ancestors? Tsk, tsk.

Nobel Prizes tipped it.
