Disappointed he didn't go further back.   Why could they not go further with the first son? Death certificate or something
While it may have been possible, I think they decided to leave it out because the information they would find would be about living people.

Hi

Definitly moving stuff about his aunts.

His page on the BBC wdytya gallery website has more information on his grandmother hannah's family, including bits on bigamy etc and it seems they did research further back but didnt include it in the final film.

Looking forward to Colin Jackson next week  ;D

Was glued to this one.   

I have family from Ilkeston in Derbyshire, too, so had a personal interest. 

Also, my husband's great grandfather was in the Northumberland Fusiliers at the Somme.  When he died on 1st July 1916, the next regiment along was the Sherwood Forresters that Robert's grandfather would have been with had he not been injured in February.  To be honest, they were right when they said he was lucky not to be there.

Was willing them to go further, but I suppose with so much to cover, they concentrated on just the grandparents (grandfathers more than anything). 

Good to see some skeletons rattling, but was disappointed that they just said "could go no further" with Bert.  Of course they could with a bit of searching... the clues were there.
