I think I would go and rescue the Devon wills and other documents before they were destroyed in 1942.

That's a far more sensible idea than I've ever had!
Being allowed to use it just the one time is a big challenge though! I think I'd be very torn and I always worry about whether I would actually discover anything meaningful - it's difficult enough working on living relatives without any time machine!
I would chose out of.....
Going back to some time between about 1830 and 1840 to try and discover once and for all who the parents of my 2xg-grandmother Elizabeth Saunders were.
Or...
I would go back to 1915/17 when my grandmother was working her way through a couple of stormy relationships that upset her whole family - I only have the letters she kept from one of the men - what did her replies say?
Or....
Maybe 1737 when my 4xg-grandparents, William Maynard and Elizabeth Crawley, married to try and find out more about both sets of parents and any siblings they had.
I've been stuck on these things for decades!
