Dave and I found this one fascinating. It so reminded us of the struggle to find anything on my grandfathers brother George Newey. He too was 'on the stage'. I have found articles about him in The Stage magazine but we still don't know what happened to him after 1912 when he returned from the USA

There is a Patrick Loury death Apr-Jun 1839 Leeds and a Mary Lowry death Oct-Dec 1840, also in Leeds, which could explain why I can't find them on the 1841 census.
Here is Patrick's burial: West Yorkshire records on ancestry Patrick Lowry, Married Man, Wheeler Street, 21 May St Mary's, 46 yrs. |

I really enjoyed this one. I agree there was too much padding but, on the other hand, I'm fed up with military stuff.

I thought it was really interesting. Wish I could find something out about the "theatrical agent" in my own tree but his census entry is all I know about his work. Gareth and his family undoubtedly knew a lot about Dan Lowry and Edmund Payne but they probably didn't know all the detail and I enjoyed seeing the story unfold.
Edit to say: I did wonder how they knew which of the two voices on the recording was Edmund's. Last edited by Ann from Sussex; 11-09-15 at 06:54. |

I've only just realised that Gareth's mother's maiden name was White, not Payne! Will go back and edit my synopsis... but I'm confused.

If my internet wasn't going so slow, I would rewatch the beginning of the episode to get a good look at that family tree, but from looking at BMD indexes, it looks as though Gareth's grandfather was born a Payne but then his mother married Harry White in 1932? Or am I getting something wrong somewhere?

Okay, I have managed to watch on the iPlayer and pause on the close-up of the family tree, and it shows Edmund Payne (1864-1914) married Emily Saxon (1864-1899) in 1888, with son Harry Payne born in 1898 (I think, the picture was a bit fuzzy.) Harry is shown as marrying Dorothy Harris (born 1897) in 1920, with their son Edmund born 1921, and then Dorothy marrying a William White in 1927. Presumably Edmund took his stepfather's surname. It shows Harry's date of death as 1964.
So, a few things to check there... |
