Hi, thanks 

I managed to catch the Donny Osmond one the other day, and sky plussed the others. I'll go and set it for today though, just in case it misses them

Hi my family have Martins in the family. One branch of our family Timothy Martin born in 1761 in Matterdale Cumbria married Mary Grey in 1795 in Llangyfelach. I believe my brother has been in contact with Osmond family many years ago.  I know a lot about Martins but can't say I know a lot about the Greys.

Ohh related to Donny Osmond! How lovely!

Been hoping Coming Home would be repeated.

Never thought to look on Blighty.

Mary Grey is the sister of my 4 greats grandfather Evan Grey1761-1842.  Their father is Morgan Grey(Welsh wills 1818) and Hannah David.  Morgan Grey gives no married names for his daughters but does detail all the furniture etc. down to the silver buttons.
    In the 1840's my 2 greats grandfather John Davies moves his family to Merthyr and works in the Dowlais Iron Works as an engine fitter.   Now I have a clue as to why.  His cousin George Martin was in management there.
    Timothy Martin is supposed to have been a passenger on the first locomotive run by Trevithick in 1804.
     Anybody want to put Coming Home on UTube for us in the States who can't watch   LizR
