Hi I have just joined this forum because of this thread in particular.
I have just come across the page regarding Edward Payne and generally the WDYTYA episode last week. I'm fascinated that you found a divorce for Harry Payne and Dorothy Violet Payne (nee Harris). I had quite a shock last week watching the programme because when we had a quick glance at the family tree, the name of John Harrill Harris glared out at me. My great great grandfather was John Harrill Harris senior and my great grandmother, obviously, John Harrill Harris (junior)'s sister. My great great grandfather was a baptist minister who was in Northern Ireland between 1872 and 1887 where he married my great grandparents. There was a family falling out at sometime between him and his sons because it was only when I started doing my family tree I found their existence. Harris senior was strictly teetotal and temperance and I wonder whether he fell out with his son when he married Hannah Lowery, daughter of Daniel Junior. Then I discovered that Daniel Lowery Jr's second wife was Edith Mary Adams, daughter of Hildebrand Adams who was a friend of "my" Harris family. It really is a tangled web and one I won't find an answer to! By the reckoning of Ancestry.co.uk, Gareth Malone's mother is my 3rd cousin. One thing the programme did for me was sort out all the various Daniel Lowerys and clear up the confusion that Dan Jr was born Thomas. Apparently Dan Senior always made out that he was born in Roscrea in Ireland although he was born in Leeds - claiming Irish birth helped his street cred in 19thC Liverpool ( which by sheer coincidence is my homeland!)

Hi Bentley and welcome to this forum.
It's always nice when a family member finds something on google that brings them to us. I've had a couple of distant cousins find me in this way. It's also interesting when relatives of the people on WDYTYA find the link through this forum too.

Thank you for your welcome. I've been researching my family tree for about 10 years and always watch WDYTYA. I have known some of the historian experts on there in the past (I am a (mature!) PhD student) but to see a member of my family tree on there gave me quite a start! My professional research interests involve 19th social history and I have built a number of family trees to substantiate casebook studies for my thesis. I hope that I might .be able to use the forum at sometime for reference and information.

Seems Daniel Lowrey snr had a 3rd wife? Daniel Junior married secondly 1890 Edith Mary Adams after Annie Maguire died - he was 49 a widow, and she 21 in connection with Who Do You Think You Are - Gareth Malone 10th Sep Last edited by Barnesyard; 27-09-15 at 12:31.
