I would like to meet this guy here. John Jackson........who started out as a tailor in LASTINGHAM and ended up as a famous portrait painter in London. He was a an anomaly-both religious since he was a Methodist, but quite fun loving. He died poor unfoortunately, leaving his widow with very little, but he was a very generous man by all accounts.

There are two I would like to meet:

My maternal great grandmother because my mum has painted her as such a lovely refined and kind lady, I would just like to meet her.

Also my 4 x gr grandfather Corles Baldwin, I really want to know why he left the Landed gentry Baldwin family in Ireland and ended up a shoemaker in the East End of London.

Where's the family fortune???

Also I want my grandmother back so I could actually take notice of the family history he told me about when I was a bored and uninterested teenager.  I would take notice this time!

I've already posted in another thread somewhere that I'd like to meet the woman on the left in her feather skirt, she was my Great-Grand mother and a professional pianist.
Now I also want to meet another great grandmother, her name was Lily or Lillie or Elizabeth or Lydia Williams Slater Johnson, just to ask her what on earth her real name was. She was born somewhere in Ireland, she had my granddad in a workhouse when she was 17 (well according to her age on death) she went on to marry twice that I know of (but I've been told it was three times) and smoked a clay pipe. I'm sure she had some stories to tell.
