My gran told me her grandad John Worsley died in Canada - turns out he actually died in Lancaster Lunatic Asylum when his only child (great-grandma) was ten years old and it was his brother Ralph who was a cotton merchant going to Canada from Liverpool and back so many times he should have been on a bit of elastic and Ralph's children who went to live in Canada. |

I have just googled Bonnie Prince Charles and found out that he 1.Had a mistress and a daughter Charlott, 2. Then he married a woman and had another,very interesting,I wonder if it was an arranged marriage?Don't know what happened to the kids.His second is thought to of been a spy? |

Just found out one of my great grandmothers was a bigamist. Marriage certificate stated she was a widow. First husband did not die until after she was married nearly 6 years to my great grandfather. Not a bit of information from the family on this either. Her father was also a witness to the second marriage. |

I grew up being told that my Great,Great Grandfather was a Methodist missionary who went to Fiji with his 16 year old bride,converted the Fijian chief to Christianity etc.The cannibal tribes didn't like this,so ate the Rev.Turns out there was quite a lot of truth in it-except that his bride was 22,not 16;there WAS an uprising by the tribes against the Rev., BUT he wasn't eaten,just made a hasty exit.The family was supposed to be the first white family there-wrong-there had been traders coming back and forth for a while,and my ancestor was supposed to be the first white baby |

One of my ggg grandfathers was a man of means and had a large property with his brother, very wealthy in the end, though this side is still poor, and survived without ill gotten gains. |

liz47 - was not the Young Pretender his son, or grandson but he was so far removed from the line of heiredity because of his Polish blood, that he did not stand a chance. I will stand corrected on this, if I have got it wrong |
