I found it really interesting, particularly as I know Colchester fairly well.  I enjoyed looking up the censuses whilst the programme was on, keeping on step ahead, so to speak.

I thought that was a very interesting episode. Nigel Havers came over as a lovely person and the program seemed well compiled.

How I wish I could have answers and information on some of my ancestors in the same way though. It all seems so effortless. However, the effort is what makes it worthwhile really.

Look forward to the future episodes as there seems to be an excellent line up.  :)
Best wishes HL

Good evening,

The only thing that annoyed me was all that hair. I was born the year before him and all I've got is a fringe running from one ear to the other around the back ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry John and Stonechat, I'm a child of 1941 and still have all my hair and almost as thick as it always was.  I'm always being told that a women of my age shouldn't have such good hair.  ::)

sorry for the delay, just catching up on this one on sky+. Very good so far, Nigel seems a very nice chap, but his 94 year old uncle was brilliant - sharp as a tack, with all his marbles and a few more besides.
