Looking For Research Clues

What-ho, lovely people!

I'm been working on some things for my Sherlockian scion, with the hopes of producing something worthy to submit to the Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes, to try to gain admission to that august group. I've written a small piece for my scion on the interesting comparisons between Holmes and Jeeves, and I wondered if anyone has ever uncovered any literary suggestion (in stories, pastiches, scholarship, general ramblings, whatever!) that Holmes could have been Jeeves' father. What (if anything) do we know about Jeeves' parents---he seems to have uncles and aunts by the score, but I can't come up with anything off the top of my brain about his folks---except for the one line where he says his mother thought he was intelligent.

Anyway, I'm thinking about playing around with the idea, and was just curious if it had been done before, and if so, where.

Many many thanks ahead of time!

Thanks for the reference! Aren't Uncle Charlie and Cousin Queenie in The Mating Season? I have such trouble keeping all the stories straight---I have got to get my Wodehouse as organized as my Doyle!

DOH! This is what happens when I don't check my sources! "Joy in the Morning" and "the Mating Season" were the two Wodehouse books I had to read in the non-circulation book archive of my university's library...I ended up mixing the two titles in my head. ^_^

*sigh* I have been sorely lacking in my Wodehouse know-how as of late. For SHAME.

Ahh, tis not for shame! I mean, I mix up the stories all the time---and of course the TV series really mixed them up! So we have lots of company.

...perphaps we need to abbreviate the titles of the Jeeves stories in the way the Sherlockians did with the Holmes stories? (i.e. STUD, DYIN, HOUN, etc.)
