Also much of the census info. was pulped and reused.

I suppose it makes it easier to find your family in a later census if you know they will all be the same ages and at the same place.

Whoops - I found a site that said he was born Graham Wilson so this Wiki might clarify the situation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Norton

He was born Graham Walker, except it confusingly says he was born in Dublin under the photo but says he was born in Cork in the opening sentence.

Anna- that link gives family name as Walker not Wilson!

Yes, indeed - as does this (longer) one, also from the BBC:

It'll be interesting to see how they trace his family, if there are so few remaining records - there may be a few tips the rest of us can pick up. Although I expect he'll be flown to Ireland where helpful records office staff will magically produce all the evidence!

Still, it might give some clues as to what's left - and how to find it if you CAN'T get to Ireland.

I've really enjoyed this series so far because they've all been so different, so I'm looking forward to a night in front of the telly with a box of chocolates I treated myself to!

Speak to everyone later.

apparently he was born in Ireland but one of his ancestors went from Yorkshire to Ireland - strange it was not the other way round.

hope i didn't spoil it it said that in the review at the weekend.

I've often wondered where you might have to look to discover the origins of families from England (for example) who were settled in Ireland in the late 17thC onwards to replace removed Catholic families.  Sheffield Archives is an extraordinary repository - I found a copy of my gt-gt-gt-gt-grandfather's will there, and he lived in neighbouring Derbyshire...
Really enjoyed the programme just now, a very interesting, in depth, introduction to generations of Irish history...
