only one & three questions? I'll twist it a bit........ three people, one question each........

1. My 14xgreat-grandmother, Helen Leslie........ why did you become the mistress of a bishop??

2. My 3xgreat-grandfather's brother Thomas Morning.......... how many wives did you have? At the same time!!?? One poor woman hadn't seen you for years, thought you had died, and she married again........ and was put in jail for bigamy.... where YOU should have been.

3. My 7xgreat-grandfather Robert Pryde..... did you really fight at the battle of Prestonpans?

<3 :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

Great thread Nemo :-)

I would ask John Samuel Mitchell (my dad's father) .....

1. Where were you born?
2. What was your job?
2. If grandma didn't bury you under the patio, just where DID you go after you walked out on her and my dad?



:-D Wouldn't it be great if we could all solve each other's questions :-D

My Great Grandfather Alexander Nerrlie b 1834

Where were you born America or Agra, India.

What were your parents names.

Where were they born.

I hate it when eveyones questions are far more interesting then mine and not only that I now feel that I too have to know the answers its like not finishing a book or missing the ending of a cery interesting film....... or filim as my GGGrany would say ;-)

To my gt gt grandmother Amelia.

Why did you call yourself by your sisters name on the 1871 census but give the correct year of birth. ( she was four years younger and still living at home, you were living/ staying/ working in the pub on the corner of your street ) ?

Where did you go to after your youngest child was born in 1891 ( and before 1899 by which time your husband had a child by the housekeeper - they went on to have four more,) leaving nine children, including my great grandad. ?

Why are there no death entries for you or marriage after your husband died in 1912 ? I have looked up to 1955, you would have been over 100 by then so where did you go ?

Oh's GGG paternal Grandfather Henry . Where the devil did you disappear to . Who was the Mary who fathered your son Richard. and finally why did you dump your son omn his Grandmother :-D :-D :-D :-D.

or can I have another ?

My GGGGRT grandfather ( one presumes back in 1840 )

1.... Who exactly is James Wildes father? Is it you or your Son

2.... Did you actually marry your DIL if so where?

3..... was you and your family hiding in the cellar on the night of the 1851 census?

Ok goody I love these .......


GGGrt Grandmother

1.... why do you insist on telling on the 1891 1901 and 1911 census that your place of birth is Ireland ( and change the area accordling) when you was actually born in Manchester fair enough the only child of your parents to be born outside Ireland but still you were clearly born in Manchester. It even says so on the 1871 and 1881 census. And I'd slip this in....... why do you speak with a fake Irish accent?

2.....why on the 1911 census do you claim that 2 of your children have died when clearly all 10 of them can be accounted for.....

3.... Do you happen to know where you s.i.l ( my great grandfather) brother is at the time of the 1911 census?

I’d ask Isaac Bloch, the father of Nathan Bloch 1829.

Where exactly were you born?
Who has your wife?
Why did you come to England?

His grt grandaughter said they came from Estonia, but the earliest 1851 census says Germany. If they came as a family group, it might be possible to find her death/burial in the Middlesex area before 1851. That might have her age at death recorded.
A town of birth might help to find a marriage in that area, or at least his own birth.

Hi,

If you could choose an ancestor from your family tree to interview, who would you pick and why? You can only ask them three questions, what would they be?
