Who Do You Think You Are - Sarah Millican 11th Sep

[JBee]

I thought I saw someone born in Perth, Scotland who married someone with name starting Pat......

I was intrigued as have Paton's around that area.

Also OH's ancestor drowned just off Farne Islands in 1876 - his ship was the SS Calcium.

I watched this on catch-up and enjoyed it. Although I also thought she was daft for asking if John Malcolm had a family, I liked the fact she was happy to appear naive and genuinely excited at what was found out, as well as gamely putting on that diving gear.

Diving was a new occupation for me too and this episode explored new ground.

According to something I saw on the BBC website, Sarah has said she asked that question because she hadn't been told before she went to Canada whether or not John's children had been born before or after he left Orkney.

Sorry Sarah for shouting at you during the programme!

I think the PAT name was Paterson - it caught my eye because I have Patersons in my tree.
