It irritates me when they jump from one birth certificate onto the grandfather's connection to a prominent family without first giving a bit more information on the parents first! Hannah's and Charles' circumstances and the fact he died 1865 would go some way to show why they became so very poor! Last edited by maggie_4_7; 25-11-16 at 10:23. |

Not quite as bad as whoever it was where they zoomed all the way back to Charlemagne, but I do prefer it when they focus on more recent ancestors. Quote:

I would have found that more interesting than the eventual royal connection to be honest. The road they travelled to end up in the East End as paupers from the life in Norfolk would be so much more interesting and also what happened to the first family's descendants. They have just dumbed it down, oh look cockney geezer descended from a King! Who cares I am more interested in the actualities of how and why they got where they got. Oh and he irritated me beyond reason that cockney rubbish is all an act and over done to the extreme its a caricature and I find it offensive to be honest. I have found the last couple of series very disappointing in fact I still have 3 from the last series I haven't even watched yet! Last edited by maggie_4_7; 25-11-16 at 10:41. |

The British Newspaper Archive has more on Danny Dyer's working-class roots:
http://blog.britishnewspaperarchive....FZWMdwodRcsJXw I haven't had time to investigate yet. I did find him very irritating, although the episode was interesting. |

I did find him very irritating, although the episode was interesting. Agree with Maggie and Elizabeth and everyone else who was both irritated and interested at the same time. I don't watch East Enders; I did know that he plays a character in it but I knew nothing else about him. Can't say I took to him or his family....except for Auntie Sylvia who I thought was a real old time Eastender. |

ooh well done what a great find.
So much more interesting than the civil war. Agree. We have all traced relatives who lived in the 19th century and studied their lives so we can relate (sorry, no pun intended) to things like that but not many of us have got back to the Civil War. The Danny Dyer WDYTYA was interesting to me because I had ancestors living in Poplar and Mile End at the same time as his family. In fact, some of mine spent time in the same workhouse. Wonder if they knew the Buttivants? |
