Just back online after a month away.  Thanks Gazania!  Dammit, I missed Jeremy Irons, but will be lining up for John Hurt on Sunday night.  Hope there are a few more to come!

Hi MarieC

Was wondering where you have been - I enjoyed Sheila Hancock last week - sorry you missed it

Hi Trish

Double dammit - that's right, make me envious of what I've missed!  ;D ::)  Didn't even know WDYTYA had returned to SBS till I saw this thread just now!

Managed to get various bits of FH research done in Ireland, though not without difficulty - the GRO in Dublin, like my Edward Martin, doesn't want to be found but I eventually tracked it down.   ::) ::)  Lots of stories to tell about researching in Ireland - it truly is a very different place, but the people, especially in the country, are lovely.  Weather totally lousy - torrential rain and cold.  (Memo to self - find appropriate board and post the stories there, they may entertain or help others!)

Already been helped by three wonderful Rootschatters since I first peered at the 'puter through jetlagged eyes last night - it's great to be on here again!

Hope all is well with you.

We watched the Bill Oddie ep on Friday night, not having seen it before ... and were quite disappointed.  Did they forget to put a lapel microphone on him, or was the sound playing up on our telly?  My husband gave up, about twenty minutes into the program, ... and I did the same, a few minutes later, because we couldn't make out what was being said  :-\

What I did catch seemed to focus heavily on the mother he didn't really know, ... I didn't end up seeing how many generations they went back, and there didn't seem to be a lot of time left to research them.  Can anyone fill me in?
I live in Sydney, Australia, and I'm researching: Powell, Tatham, Dunbar, Dixon, Mackwood, Kinnear, Mitchell, Morgan, Delves, & Anderson

I do!
I am from Glasgow and I was being facetious!
We had a programme set in North of Scotland about deep sea fishing and it had subtitles! which I found funny.
