for those of you have have an interest in Grimsby its next to where I live. Can do digital photos for you if you tell me what you want. There is a fishing heritage centre which is very good, so I am told ,but not actually been there myself.

If it had been me I would have looked into who Edward Stafford was even if they knew Emma was not his child instead of trying to find her connection to Sligo

For those who missed it there is part of his story.....

Rosex

anyone know if its repeated at all please
xxLynnxx

I thought it was good. Tracing the family lies LOL
We've all been through it. My gran always said my grandad must have been from Scottish stock. Why?
Because he always sang 'I belong to Glasgow'!!
He and countless generations before him came from that most gallic of places - Hampshire!!
My g grandmother from Suffolk allegedly had her first illegitimate child Maud 'up North'. The only one I found was born in Grimsby - which is 'Up North' from Suffolk LOL

maggie

Lol!! Buttercup.

I think he was will just have to wait......grrrrr!

Oh gawd I can't remember...I got diverted looking at his brothers teeth!

Can't remember how John was connected, wasn't Walter his g grandfather ?

Oh Tracey...how exciting is this! Keep us informed! BC

Just dug my tree out and Neville's youngest son was Edwin STAFFORD Browne

Watching it I just felt that he was going through what a lot of us on GR do.

Finding out that some ancestors bent the truth and then those following them slightly built the stories up. A century or more later we find that we have do discard most of the 'history' to find the facts.

Thanks Von, it must be the same one I should think, I haven';t looked into 'my' Neville's parents, only his chidren. I'll just have to watch the repeat and tape it so I can study the tree!

I was disappointed in tonight's,but really enjoyed last weeks,yes tonight was a bit boring!!!

Yes, Jacky I must agree with you there, that was very moving last week.

Has anyone noticed they always seem to have at least 1 celebrity whose story gets to us all.

Helen

It was an interesting programme but I don't think anything will ever beat the singing of Natasha Kaplinsky's cousin at the end of last week's programme. That was haunting and so moving.

Jacky

Thanks Helen

He wasn't a blood relative, one of my lot married him
but it is still quite exciting!

Tracey x

If it is on again I'll have a look at the date on the tree at the end.

Wow, Tracey,

you might be connected.

Isn't it weird about things been passed down by word of mouth. My Mum used to always say that her dad's side of the family came from South Wales and that was were I got my singing voice from them. Well I only really started looking at the families history after Mum died 6 years ago next week, and I think she would have a shock, because so far I haven't found a single Welsh connection.

Helen

There was a Neville on his tree, did anyone notice the date?

I thought the name Lord Browne rang a bell and just looked at my tree and I have a Neville Lord Browne born in ..........Grimsby, I wonder if it is the same family?

Have to agree BC about brother,must be with drinking all that mead!!

Hope you're well :O)
