James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

How come we had Nadia this morning?
The details were from 2005!
Have they run out of new programmes?
It was an interesting one though.
How many more weeks to go? Is this the last?

Questions questions..........................

Yes it was a repeat of the first series.

We were meant to be in a slot starting on 14 Jul but got moved forward. Because the viewing figures were good they have decided to re-run 10 shows from series 1 (June last year) to fill the gap. Series 1 took 18 months in production so was filmed in 2005-2006 even if it was shown in 2007. hence the 2005 dates.

the reruns will finish on the 8th of August, that will be 30 back to back shows! How much more of us could you take.

Neil
