Relatives?

Is there any family connection, however distant, to Madsen Pirie? It's an unusual name in the UK. If there isn't, is it worth stating this clearly? Andy Dingley (talk) 09:45, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by the disambiguation page Pirie it's not that uncommon in the UK. If a reliable source can be found proving a direct familial relationship between Denis and Madsen they by all means add it with the appropriate source, otherwise leave it out as Wikipedia articles generally don't list who a person isn't related to.
