Yes its Meera Syal Should be good if you have any ancestors that were born in India or were in the army/India Mutiny1857-1859. I have a relly that was in the India Mutiny found him just by chance by googling his surname. Sue

I'm looking forward to seeing how another culture deals with record keeping. Did anyone see the send up of last weeks programme on "Dead Ringers " last night? Apparently the programme is having an effect on the buying of certificates. I ordered one on the 29th of November and the date for sending is 9th December. Rosemary(Essex)

I was in tears when she picked up the stone from the house her grandfather built - then her mother's comment 'It smells of India - It smells of dung' totally deflated me!!!! I learnt so much about the partitioning of India, and the fact that the Indians were keeping better records than than the good old british Civil Service!! maggie

Pleeeeease can someone tell me what was the outcome of the story of Vic Reeves G Grandfather - the blooming phone rang just as Vic entered the house where Simeon once lived. Linda

John Report 15 Dec 2004 08:31

He was a bigamist. The researchers found the daughter of one of Simeon's sons from his first marriage. She'd never heard of Vic. They met her on Merseyside.

You mean Simeon just walked out of Mary and the kids life or did he carry on seeing them behind Vic's Grandmothers back. Lin

John

John Report 15 Dec 2004 08:40

He walked out. It was the last his first family saw of him! They showed a photo of one of his son's wedding in 1927. His wife was there, he wasn't.
