What would you take with you that would pass in that time ! ---------------------------------- I would go back to this date 107 years ago to be in time for my Grandparents marriage on Christmas Eve 1902 at St.Marys Church,Alverstoke,Hampshire. I would take with me my old Brownie Box Camera to take a photo of their wedding [as I don't have one] also I would take some of my Victorian coinage,so that I could travel on the old floating bridge from Gosport to Portsmouth and find all those missing family records lost in the Blitz. I would fit in with the times as my wife tells me my clothes are "out of the ark" Have a good Christmas one and all. I will back in 1902. Regards Ron of Romsey

	1930's always wanted to be a flapper. But rich not poor as in the depression. Have in my bedroom now lots of artifacts from the 30's Carol

	I would want to go back to the mid 1970's when all four of my grandparents were alive - I could ask them about their parents and they parents before them I would also have my Mum and Dad with me again I could tell all six of them how much I love them and tell my grandparents about their great grandchildren and how they would love them to bits Oh dear this is making me sad............. I think I would stay exactley where I am getting ready for 2010 as this is where I'm meant to be x

	Dear Ronald Hello This is a very nice post. I would go back to 31 December 1899 to find our what our ancestors thought of a new century. I would also buy all the newspapers on sale. Take care all Best wishes x

	Well, I know I wouldn't go back to 1851, when my gg grandfather's brother tried to derail a train - from newspaper reports he sounds like an idiot and a bit of a 'hoodie' of his time! 1851 was the year his brother , my gg grandfather became a Metropolitan Policeman - and managed to stay there long enough to get a pension! I'd love to find out who my dad's dad was - but to go back then would be a wee bit embarrassing!!! I'd quite like to go back to Southampton in 1924 and eavesdrop on my gran & grandad in the pub with their best friends Hilda & Stan. I've got the letters - but want to find out more!!!

	I would like to have met my Grandmother - she died when my mother was four in the flu epidemic at the end of the first world war. Oh that I could go back then with the drugs/health care that we have now and perhaps we all could have known this woman and changed the course of my family history.
