BBC TV "WDYTYA?" Series 10 Episode #2: Nigel Havers

[Spidermonkey]

Another good episode I thought!

Enhanced by spotting my 3rd Great Grandfather's name in the Colchester Thieves!
(I rewound it to double-check!)

What a fantastic bonus - did you know he would be there?

I think it was a female Havers who married a Buckingham, son of George  and Elizabeth Hamblion

I enjoyed the programme but let's be honest I'd watch Nigel Havers knitting socks! It seemed to me that the Havers name disappeared somewhere from the family tree which Uncle Tony had - or did I just miss it? I wondered if this was going to be investigated but it wasn't.

It was Agnes Sophia Buckingham who married Daniel Havers.

Yes, it was enjoyable and I liked the various methods of gathering information to flesh out the names.

Yes, my brain wasn't really in gear was it.   It would have to have been a male for the name to have carried forward.  Perhaps time for bed for me

I had never heard of The Thieves before!
However I did know he was an upstanding and well-respected citizen of Colchester!

I liked it and laughed out loud.  He had such a sense of fun.   Anna

"Havers!"......quite enjoyed it though.

Skoosh.

I thought it was a good episode as well. Loved the mental picture of that Elizabeth who came down in her lift looking like queen Victoria to inspect the gathered family and the Geoffrey who hadn't come getting into bother. Lovely family anecdotes.

It was great and so was Nigel. I think he could still be called posh though!
As always, more questions come up than are answered, eg what happened to the maid whose child was born and then died? And did the builder John Hum make a go of it?
Questions, questions. They can't all be answered in a programme an hour long and they are the sort of questions that come up in any family tree research. Perhaps someone might have the facilities to research...

Not sure about John Hum - there is a death in Colchester in 1856 

That would be John Hum senior.

That could be him then. They didn't live long lives generally did they
We didn't get to hear what David Couch died of either.
