Not so sure, some of it deals with WWI again.  I'm not saying that's not interesting, but this series of WDYTYA does seem to be dwelling on it rather a lot.

Her story better not be as confusing as River Song's storylines on Doctor Who  ;D
Preston - Pennington/Hawarden/Bland/Schofield
Glamorgan(shire) - Beattie/Bevan/Williams/Ellis-Anwyl
Wigan - Pennington [I know, I know...]/Pugh (Haydock area)

Also of note -
Willoughby Hawarden -  have his War Records but what happened to him?
Nimrod Pugh - just a fantastic name!

All I can find is a GG aunt in 1885 who was divorced for drunkeness and spending nights with a commercial traveller She asked that the charge of drunkness be struck off!

I quite envy Alex for having a well documented ancestress,

Lots of original documents - she's very lucky. Didn't know that Westminster Abbey held inquest reports either (even if they are only limited ones)

Definately a considerable improvement on last week, I really enjoyed this episode.

Is it me or has it been good episode, bad episode, good episode, bad episode, good episode so far, wonder if next weeks episode will be bad .... Hope not  :-[

The war part of this episode was interesting.. it was good to see what information could be found without having a service record and makes me hopeful that maybe I'll have some luck tracing my gg grandfathers records eventually.

I thought tonight's show was definitely the best this series, even the WW1 section was more interesting than some of the others.
