I can't believe I was the only one who was shouting at the TV "Find them in the census!"  or "Did she remarry? Look it up!!!", after one ancestor died leaving a wife and 7 children. 
Sorry, I found it interesting in parts, but very few parts.  A

You were not alone Anne.....why did they not show census records? There must have been some when the family were in England.

Not alone Annie. I was shouting the same thing, but I suppose they cut out chunks to allow time enough for the story they want to tell.  :-\

Was thinking the same & more so why Fearne herself didn't enquire about the widow & children, who were they, what were their names, did she remain in England etc.  :-\

I too wanted them to refer to censuses, (they probably did, which we didn't see) but it is tailored for television. All the same interesting in parts.

I must admit, I enjoyed it, but then I regard the programme purely as entertainment for the masses, not as something geared towards the serious researcher.

In previous years, the production team have stated that for every hour of televised program, there are at least 10 hours left on the cutting room floor! ;D

They obviously thought that showing Fearne looking up censuses was not as important as the research they did show.

And, I tend to agree with them! ;D ;D

Looking at it from the other side, it didn't really show amateurs how to research, where to look, how to find them.

I think anyone who didn't know how & where to research would be left rather confused as to how they found the info. as there was nothing there to egg them on to start their own 'family tree'  :D

Enjoyable when you know how it was done...a bit like showing someone some nice cakes they would like to try themselves but not giving them the recipe  ;D
