I really enjoyed this one was not sure how she would be as not that keen on her but she came across as a very genuine person and was very interested in her family ..I would say this is the best one so far

My great great grandmother Amelia worked in the cotton mills in Manchester but her brother Elijah Simpkin migrated, with his new wife, to Lawrence, Massachusetts another major mill town, and later he must have brought his mother (my ggg mother) over as her death is recorded there in 1859.

So this story was of some interest to me for that reason.

My 3xgreat grandfather went to America in 1886, and came back to the UK for about a year then left for America in April 1892, this time for good. He is on the 1900 US census, by then retired aged 72. Not mill works but mining. He was taken in by his daughter and her husband, and is with them in Allegheny, Pennsylvania in 1900 and died sometime after that. All from County Durham originally.

Sharon's ancestors went to America thinking it was the American dream but it wasn't. So Thomas O'Donnell and his eldest came back to England. It did seem they were enticed and worked in cramped dirty conditions. I would have taken the first boat back to England as well.

That's one of the most enjoyable episodes I've seen. Hats off the the people that make this programme - they keep managing to find interesting and varied stories. I'm guessing the researchers never found out what happened to Sharon's grandfather after he separated from Doris.

I was surprised that I enjoyed this episode, I wasn`t going to watch it, but decided to as I`ve watched all the others. Have to say I too dozed off for about 5 minutes but did manage to see the end.

Arthur James Shaw, known as just James Shaw, thus making it difficult to trace him if he was simply known as James in any other records as well as his army records. Causes lots of headaches when people gave incomplete info in records, especially if they had a common surname.
