My maternal grandmother was a Bull from a family in London at least as early
as 1790. I am interested though in your comment about a lot of Bulls having
a German origin, if only because I already know that my paternal grandmother
was from a German family called Utz. Can you easily give a bit more of the
background to your comment?
