I would like to meet my living relatives again - especialy my Grandad who died when I was 12. He was sent to an orphanage, along with his siblings, when their Dad died in WW1. He spent most of his life trying to find any information about his family. It took him nearly 20 years to find all his siblings but times were different then. So, I would like to pick his brains and also tell him how much I have discovered. He would be so interested and so proud that I have traced his roots back to 1760.

There are 3 folk in my tree I would like to meet.
The first is the Lady here in my photo. Caroline Matilda Ingram (g aunt). She was born in France 1835 and didn't marry until she was 50 but when she died she was buried as a spinster and in her maiden name. She waited to marry until her parents died which suggests the marriage would not have been approved of.
Secondly is my g grandmother Caroline Berenger Ingram (nee Bigg/Cooper) family tales told us she was the hard done to daughter of a wealthy merchant who left his fortune to her step mother when infact after years and years of searching for we have found she was illegitimate and the man we thought was her father was her step father and her step mither was her natural mother. She died aged 41 after her 8th child of puerpal fever, she had such a hard life but I would give her such a telling of the merry dance she has given Prue M and I over the years trying to find her 
And lastly my grandad Alexander Fredrick Ingram b. 1884, he died just before I was born, I was due to be born on his birthday and he was so excited about it . He was a chirpy cockney chappy, deaf as a post in his latter years, who sailed the world on the ocean liners and would have had so much to tell me about this tree. (thats my grandad at the front with the tash!!)
Cal (aka Caroline)

Hi Smuckerooney
Sorry to hijack the theme, but I thought that Cal241's photo could do with a small makeover.

I would like to meet this guy here. John Jackson........who started out as a tailor in LASTINGHAM and ended up as a famous portrait painter in London. He was a an anomaly-both religious since he was a Methodist, but quite fun loving. He died poor unfoortunately, leaving his widow with very little, but he was a very generous man by all accounts.

There are two I would like to meet:
My maternal great grandmother because my mum has painted her as such a lovely refined and kind lady, I would just like to meet her.
Also my 4 x gr grandfather Corles Baldwin, I really want to know why he left the Landed gentry Baldwin family in Ireland and ended up a shoemaker in the East End of London.
Where's the family fortune???
Also I want my grandmother back so I could actually take notice of the family history he told me about when I was a bored and uninterested teenager. I would take notice this time!

I've already posted in another thread somewhere that I'd like to meet the woman on the left in her feather skirt, she was my Great-Grand mother and a professional pianist.
Now I also want to meet another great grandmother, her name was Lily or Lillie or Elizabeth or Lydia Williams Slater Johnson, just to ask her what on earth her real name was. She was born somewhere in Ireland, she had my granddad in a workhouse when she was 17 (well according to her age on death) she went on to marry twice that I know of (but I've been told it was three times) and smoked a clay pipe. I'm sure she had some stories to tell.
