I cannot wait to see this episode, as my Mam had her wedding reception in the Green Tree and lived only a few doors away when she was young. She knew Maisie and her husband Billy, I think that was his name and his sister Margaret.

Interesting episode.
I missed the very beginning (3-year-old watching a DVD I forgot it was on!) so I will have to catch that on the repeat next week.
I was a bit dissapointed that it did only go back to Kims grandfather, but then as the story panned out we were all interested in what they were finding out.
I did feel sorry for Kims mum & her aunts as the story opened out, must have been very upsetting for them to see those photos, but they are definatly a credit to their mother and the upbringing she gave them.
It was interesting hearing the grandfathers sisters story too, how sad he cut his entire family out of his life, such a shame kims grandma and her grandads family didnt know earlier, the story of the girls reading about the wedding dress and knowing by rights they should have been entitled to wear it was very poignant.
I also couldnt help feeling for the 2nd wifes family - how must they have felt that this man they thought they knew turned out to be someone totaly different to the man they thought they knew, you could actually see the confusion in the faces and the conversation they were having with Kim.
I just found it very very sad that one self-centred man could cause so much upset in 3, maybe 4 families (his Mum & sisters, Kims Family, and the family of the 2nd wife he decided to make emigrate, and we dont know what he was like with his 'second' family)
Not a lot of generations, but all in all, quite interesting, I realy felt that Kim was 'involved' in this, some of the celebrities just seemed to be along for the ride.

BBC iPlayer has all the episodes online and even shows them live when the programme is being broadcast on television. It only shows programmes owned/made by the BBC but you can see a lot of programmes on there.

Personally, I thought George was a bit of a sociopath. I cannot comprehend why he would leave his wife and three children and not only try to move thousands of miles away, but actually remarry whilst still married to his first wife and act as if he had no past life. Good on the family though for being strong, and good to know that they got in touch with their half-siblings.

It was a very moving episode though maybe it wasn't genealogy.
I was weird that he tried to run away before but came back and had another daughter. Incredible.
I noted George's address on his (bigamous) wedding cert was Bredbury in Cheshire where my Mum was born. so he wasn't that far from home.
it was rivetting

How emotionally draining that must have been for Kim, her Mother and Aunts.
Re-telling the stories the 3 sisters shared when they were children was so very sad. Their own Mother should be very proud of herself in raising 3 young children and keeping them all together.
I wonder what George Baugh's own father and mother were like? Im not excusing his behaviour for one second, but it would have been interesting to see where he came from and what was going through his mind when he left his young family, if anything. What a selfish man.
It was a happy ending for Kim and her close relations, when we discovered that they had met up with their new family in Australia.
It would be nice to see a "catch up" programme. Not just with Kims family reunion, but with all the celebs in the series. A nice way to end each series, just to tie up the loose ends. I would certainly find that a worthy programme on its own to view.

I thought it was an interesting episode .. not very much family history research, but finding out about someone who did not want to be found.. probably more difficult.
I have a similar ancestor - my gg-grandfather vanished in the 1890s and left his wife and 8 children. The youngest child died around the time he left. The family story was that he went to Australia, but I've always suspected that he remarried somewhere closer to home.
The strange thing is if he hadn't left I know my story would have been altered - my g-grandfather changed jobs to help out financially. If he had not done this he would never have ended up in Dublin .. and my grandparents would never have met!

I wonder what George Baugh's own father and mother were like?
They did say that his father liked to drink and had a temper. Times were hard.
Life was different then and divorce wasn't an option but I think that leaving his family penniless was unforgivable. He may no longer have loved his wife but, as always, children can be innocent victims when a marriage breaks down.

I really enjoyed this episode. It must have been a relief to know after all these years, even if the truth is unpleasant.
I have a similar story too, my Great-Grandmother was abandoned, by her mother though. Her father died when she was 5 and her mother just vanished. She was brought up by aunts and uncles (all on her father's side) and was very much loved by them, but she was always hurt by her mother's actions.
I've been trying for a long time to find out what happened to her, I'd wondered if she'd had a breakdown but my Great-Grandmother's surviving children believe she remarried. I have been unable to trace her on the 1901 and 1911 censuses, nor can I find a marriage or death record so it's a mystery!

Why don't you post a request on the appropriate board about your elusive relative. I'm sure the peeps on here will be able to help you.
