This theory may seem a little far fetched but there is actually more evidence then you might think. Rey and Obi-wan are the only two main protagonists in the Star Wars universe so far with an English/ British accent, any other British actors use american or other accents. (except for Qui-Gon Jinn and C-3PO) If this theory is true then Kylo Ren and Rey would be continuing the battle between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan through their Grandfathers. J.J Abrams (director) and Daisy Ridley (Rey) have both said in interviews that Rey's isolation is a clue to her identity, Obi-Wan lived in isolation for nearly 20 years while watching over over Luke while he was in the hands of his Aunt and Uncle. Also in the scene when Rey touches Anakin's/Luke's light saber you can hear both Alec Guinness (old Obi-Wan Kenobi in episode IV) and Ewan Mcgregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequels) Say: "Rey, these are your first steps" Which is similar to what Obi-Wan says to Luke in episode IV. Obi-Wan is very good at Jedi mind tricks, Rey also posses this skill although Luke also uses them too so this isn't very strong evidence.
A reservation with this theory is would Obi-Wan Kenobi really break the Jedi code? The Jedi code states that attachment and possession is forbidden. He is one of the most respected, loyal and powerful Jedi masters ever. I don't see him breaking the Jedi code, it's not in his character but it's still very possible.
Another thing which has been pointed out to me is that just because the actor has an accent doesn't mean they are related to anyone. E.g just because Daisy Ridley has an accent doesn't mean her character is related to anyone!
