Una Stubbs got on my nerves too!

I lived in WGC for a few years as a child and went to WGC High School.

I hoped they would go a bit further back with the Stubbs side, because I have Stubbs AND Robinson in my tree, from Cheshire though. Most Stubbs are ultimately related I think, from about the 1500s.

Not sure why they were so sure Arthur was Clarence's father, just because Arthur and Annie lived opposite each other (and did they really, or did they live together and the different numbers were just for propriety's sake?)

All in all though, I enjoyed this one, not least because it didn't include someone's war experiences!

Una Stubb's voice always annoys me, and her habit of wearing that silly hat, even indoors!

However, I enjoyed the content.

Clarence's middle name is Watson on FreeBMD and I thought it looked like Walker on the telly. When Windows Update has finished I will see if I can get a screenshot of it. On the marriage and indexes he has no middle name.

So until we find out where this middle name came from, I agree that we can't be sure Arthur is his father!

Yes I enjoyed the programme - I've got an Annie Robinson from Bradford, Yorkshire in one of my trees too but Robinson is such a hard name to research in Yorkshire.

Yes I saw Watson too and wondered whether it was the father's surname.

Thanks, Julie. I've changed it to Watson in my summary now you've confirmed it.

I enjoyed it - not too much weeping. I assume that as Una had already met at least one of her Stubbs cousins she must have known a bit about her grandfather's background.

According to Wikipaedia Ebenezer Howard worked for a time as a reporter in Chicago.
