London
(ANI):
Emma
Watson
and
Rupert
Grint,
who
share
a
steamy
snog
in
the
next
Harry
Potter
film,
could
be
relatives
from
the
village
of
Kilworth,
Leics-
reveal
ancestry
experts.
Family
history
researcher
Nick
Barratt
traced
the
family
trees
of
Emma,
20,
and
Rupert,
22,
and
found
that
more
than
200
years
ago
their
families
had
links
to
the
village
and
could
even
be
related.
"It
is
very
rare
to
take
two
people
who
have
no
other
connection
and
find
they
have
a
link
to
a
small
village
like
this," the
Daily
Star
quoted
Nick,
of
ancestry
magazine
Your
Family
History,
as
saying.
He
described
the
coincidence
as
"amazing."
Grint's
paternal
line
stretches
back
to
1792
when
distant
relation
William
Berridge
was
born
in
North
Kilworth.
Barratt
uncovered
a
branch
of
Watson's
family
were
the
Bonsors
of
South
Kilworth,
who
established
a
brick-making
business
in
the
early
19th
century.
"The
Bonsors
were
a
big
family
round
here,
as
were
the
Berridges,"
Rachel
Root,
70,
a
local
historian,
said.
