Where are they?
|
I would ask my maternal great grandfather's brother where he went to and what he did between 1861 and 1891, [in 1861 he is a farm labourer, in 1891 he returns as a 'gentleman' with a wife, six children, four servants. My great great grandparents are also at the same address.
The six children were born in the USA [2],Canada [3] and Scotland. No trace of a marriage anywhere. I cant find them in any UK/US/Canadian census between the years mentioned.
I would ask my paternal great grandmother what happened to her parents and 8 siblings after 1881.
Finally I would ask my maternal grandmother not to dispose of my father's belongings the day after he died. [They didnt get on]

Having already had 3 wishes in Ireland, I would now like to ask Samuel Hyatt alias Clulo where he got to after being in prison in 1869.
I would also like to know why Mr. and Mrs Clulo were travelling back from South Africa, on board Durham Castle in 1904.
Also there is a daughter of James Clulo and Esther Vickers, Ann b. 1803, who has just disappeared!
Kooky

I expect if we got far enough back we'd all be related.
Lizzie
That's more or less certain. Every time you go back a generation, you double the number of people responsible for you being here. You don't have to double a number many times (starting with 2), before you get a very large one. You reach a stage where there just wasn't enough people in the country, so we must all share ancestors as you go back.

ohhhh number 1 is easy! :
I would go back to about 1976, and sit down with my nana & grandad & actualy listen to what they told me about the box of photos I now posses and listen to the stories of the people in the photos!
I would ask nana what REALLY happened to her brother Charlie and HOW he 'Died young' (cos I am realy struggling to find the death date & place unknown of Charles/Charlie Smith in Manchester now!) and I would listen to grandad telling me about HIS parents, and grandparents and their families!
(My excuse is I WAS only 10 at the time & it was all boring to me then!)
Number 2:
lol I would get my mums grandparents and ask them what the **** they were playing at!
they have been a nightmare to trace cos neither of them used all the real details on their marriage cert and she didnt even use her real name!
I would ask gt-grandad what he knows about his father, and was he aware that he wasnt born in 1875 he was born in 1867, he wasnt born in Walsingham he was born in Kings Lynn, and when did he drop the all important 'Hanwell' middle name that told me who his father really was, cos he wasnt Henry Childs as he said on his marriage cert, he was illigitimate, his mother was born a 'Childs' and only ever married twice!
(lol and while I am at it, did he know his father, cos on his marriage cert he gave the wrong fathers surname, but his real fathers occupation! ?)
Number 3:
LOL can I make this a 'blanket' question?
I would get every one the aforementioned gt-grandmas family together & ask why not one single one of them ever put down WHERE in Ireland they came from and demand to know where it was cos I cant go back any further without it! (McRea from Ireland place unknown is not do-able!)

Like Gaille, I would like to go back to the 1976 and I would listen properly to my gran when she was explaining who, what, where and why and TAKE ACCURATE NOTES.
I would like to ask my gt gran why when she decided to have a sort out she decided to start burning old photographs and documents because they were taking up too much space in the cupboard  .
I would like to ask my 3 x gt grandad Patrick Grant why the records about him are in the name of Grant, Granten, Gralton and Grantham, why he has apparently registered 3 of his children but not the eldest two, and why did he never say exactly where in Ireland he came from. He has built one massive brickwall  .
