If it is the one I am thinking of, I am aware of the TV series but never really watched it.

Did he feature in an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?

No, never in WDYTYA as far as google tells me.  I would be straight on it if he had been, to see if the researchers had found out more about our mutual line, which has featured extensively here on the Kent board with very helpful Rootschatters. 

 

Pay, Kent. 
Barham, Kent. 
Cork(e), Kent. 
Cooley, Kent.
Barwell, Rutland/Northants/Greenwich.
Cotterill, Derbys.
Van Steenhoven/Steenhoven/Hoven, Nord Brabant/Belgium/East London.
Kesneer Belgium/East London
Burton, East London.
Barlow, East London
Wayling, East London
Wade, Greenwich/Brightlingsea, Essex.
Thorpe, Brightlingsea, Essex

Barwell the surname, xin.

Northamptonshire/Rutlandshire - millions of Barwells, most of them slaters.
Some of them married other Barwells.......I think they loved to confuse.  ;)
