"Who Do You Think You Are", Series 14: #2 Craig Revel Horwood

[Finley 1]

Wow -- didn't think they would better Charles Dance, and I absolutely did not like Craig, but now a new light 'shineth' on him    ha ha... very very interesting, I had sparkly eyes at the end of the prog.

I have links with Ballarat, my poor baby 200th cousin 10 times removed died of typhoid in the gold rush age 3 ...   So it made me think there is more info I can find about her.   I already had lots of help on here to find her death cert.. (good old Rootchatters xxxxx)

I too have links to Oz, but mostly in the 20th century - my brother & family live in Canberra, and my mum's sister spent some of her life in Fremantle.

Nobody in my lot was at the Eureka Stockade (as far as I know).

However I do have a 2nd cousin 6 times removed who in 1855 abandoned his wife in Huddersfield and spent the rest of his days teaching dancing in Melbourne.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode too. He had a wonderful approach to receiving all the information with such a keen interest.

His granny at 100 was an interesting lady and I loved all the photos she had. ( very jealous of those as so few oldies in my albums)

He certainly had a real sparkle when he discovered the clog dancer and how successful he'd been.

I would also liked to have seen more about the relatives in Uk, but it's only an hours programme and there was plenty in this one!

I felt very sorry that the two sisters missed out on any inheritance, especially as the rest came out of it so well - wonder how they've progressed since! Another tale.

Considering he comes from Australia I thought he'd cultured a very English accent well 'darling'!

Very enjoyable.

I almost didn't bother to watch this one, as I had (and still have) no idea who this man is.   

Highlights for me were Granny at 100, and the clog dancing .... but didn't they say something at the start of the programme that one of his ancestors was a convict sent to Oz ?   Pity not to have had him traced back here in UK.   

But there's not a lot you can do in one hour.   I liked the Charles Dance programme better.

I think Scott Craig:
My granduncle is Herbert Stubbs,
Grandmother Jessie Victoria Stubbs or Jessie Craig
Curious I am

I almost didn't bother to watch this one, as I had (and still have) no idea who this man is.   

He's a judge on "Strictly Come Dancing" - the one giving low marks, and negative comments (mostly)!
He was a dancer, and is now a choreographer, and theatre director.

[Lydart]

Perhaps I shouldn't express my ignorance, but what is 'Strictly Come Dancing' ??   Sounds like some ghastly TV programme !



And can I say (as an aside and off topic) to sjsea, that I have a Herbert Stubbs, and a Jessie Stubbs in my tree .... were they in Canada ?

Are you a High Court judge,  Lydart?
