And, Nick, not just slaves - abuse of power over household servants, too!

Hi,

Another interesting programme, but I do hope that we will have a few more in the next series based solely in Britain.

I think according to the Sunday Post newspaper Ainsley's lineage was followed back as far as Scotland. That wasn't shown for some reason.

Here is an article, which I thought might be of interest, which puts a slightly different angle of thought to Ainsley's

Thankyou for that.  An extremely interesting article.

If I remember correctly, there was a Forbes connection somewhere in his tree. I'd imagine that came from Scotland at one point. Unfortunately they didn't go that way.

Incidently (just remembering), one of my distant great Uncles is suppost to have died in Jamaica. Gilbert Alistair Noble, b. 1790.

According to the Family Bible: "Joined the Royal Navy at an Early Age. Believed to have died in Jamaica".
He was allegedly press-ganged.

That is the only involvement my family had in that area of the world (possibly).
