Hmmm -
1. I'd ask my gggrandfather Edward Martin what happened to him after he went insolvent in London in the 1850s and disappeared completely. (Tissues at the ready because I fear that the answer may be very sad!)
2. I'd ask his parents, Thomas and Agnes (nee Jenkins) where they came from. They were inconsiderate enough to be Roman Catholic and to die before the 1851 census, and I seem to have no possibility of tracing them.
3. I'd ask another gggrandfather, Allan JRB Cameron, which of the two places called "Aughamore House" in Co. Leitrim, Ireland, he lived in! This is very confusing!
(You can see that I cheated with question 2!)

An interesting exercise is to note down your 3 wishes now, and then check in 12 months time, and see if they're still the same.

Yes, I think I've just added another tiny piece of the jigsaw that is my grandad's life from 1901.
I've been going through my notes and I found a scribbled entry that said his sister Harriet married someone called hughes. Checked it out on LancsBmd and Yes.
This would perhaps make her one of the 2 ladies who notified his death. (on another thread) Don't know why I didn't spot it before.
I never really looked for his brothers and sisters marriages before.
Thanks for making me look through my notes.
See genjen, you have to keep searching!!!!!!!!!
Regards
Olly

1) I would ask my 3x Great Grandfather, George Thomas Myatt, who exactly he was. I can find no trace of him at all before his wedding day.
2) I would ask my 3x Great Grandfather, Adam Grosert, what happened to him after he divorced his wife. He disappears after that date.
3) I would ask the son of the above, Thomas Grosert, what happened to his first wife, Christina Heggie. He took her and his son to America and by the time of the next US census he was living with someone else.
I'm sure i could think of a 101 more questions to ask, but those are the puzzles that frustrate me the most!

I'd ask
1. My g.grandfather what his date of birth was, and who his parents were. Particularly his mother, was she really Spanish or Portuguese and who were her parents.
2. I'd ask my 2 x g.grandfather what his date of birth was and where he was born and if he really was the son of the people he knew as his parents.
3. I'd ask my grandfather why he let people think he was an only child and whether there are the photos of his siblings.
For my OH,
1. I'd ask his 3 x g.grandmother when and where she was born and who her parents were and if she died in 1842 in Glossop.
2. I'd ask his 3 x g.grandfather when and where he was born and who his parents were and as he died in 1836 I'd ask him the cause of his death.

Like genjen, my wishes have been the same for years and look like remaining well into the future! Unbreakable brick walls, unfortunately. My only hope (apart from time travel!) is that a currently unknown rellie comes out of the woodwork and tells me about these people!

(1) I would like to ask Mary Pearle (b. 1832 Brettenham, Suffolk) to tell me her story. She had two illegitimate children, and married the father of her third child shortly before he was born. She then left the children (including the baby) with her mother and went off to live with her new husband. They later parted (he appears to have gone back to his mother) and she bigamously married another husband, and ended up living with a third husband in what looks like reduced circumstances. Mary Pearle, was it all worth it, or did you spend most of your life in tears?
(2) Lucy Bristo, who married John Hewis(s)on, Royal Artillery, in Woodbridge in 1806 - what happened to John Hewis(s)on? Where did he come from and where did he go? AND why was your daughter, Lucy, baptised Lucy Bristo Hewison in 1807, always known as Lucy Bristo? Was this a bigamous marriage? Did he do you wrong, the [possibly] utter swine?
(3) Lovely Syslye Waddilove, who married John Pearle in Rattlesden, Suffolk in 1570 - please, please tell me where you came from! I know there are Waddiloves in Norfolk - are they yours? They are only a few miles away from Rattlesden so it is quite possible, but impossible to prove...

But we are allowed sub-sections so just put a little i, ii, iii etc and you'll be fine.
Now that's more like it, that gives me a new question to play with.
I will go with John Simpson, baptised as Whitaker,(1815 Yorkshire) raised by parents, John Simpson and Elizabeth Whitaker (who married same day as he was baptised), John married first time as either Simpson or Whitaker, married second time as a Simpson, Children all in the name of Simpson, and possibly died as a Whitaker because he is named as Whitaker on his second wifes death certificate.
Phew!!!
Would love for him to sort all that out
Margaret

Oh my!
Q1 Where, George Morjeanstern 9b.1791), were you born in France and when and where did you marry Mary Quin, oh and was it Morjeanstern or Morgenstern with a French accent, that would help a great deal?
Q2 Where George Hooker b.1740ish were you really born Odiham or somewhere else?
Q3 Was it James Bailey (b.1841) or John Bailey or John James Bailey, depending how you felt. Were you born in London and were your parents from Birmingham? Did you legally go from Jeweler to living on your own means?
I could find more questions but these ones niggle me.
