0:55 I have worked in archives and they should wear a mouth cover and gloves in order to protect the documents from drops of spit and the greace from our skin. Not wildly crying out words, which will disperse clouds of contamination that may lead to mould and such.

Love Olivia Colman, she is adorable, that big smile of hers makes you smile when she smiles, lol! She reminds me of my best friend, I mean they look a bit like, and I hardly see her because she lives too far away, so I don't get to see her much!

I wish these videos would be tagged as part 1, part 2 and so on, so that I know in what order to watch them in, because this seems to be the first part, but I already watched the other videos!

I started with Boy George, then Annie Lennox to Olivia, and they were all over the place! But I do like this channel better then the Ancestry one, since it's obviously more like a commercial for their services, which aren't cheap! So watching rich celebrities using it to trace their family tree, isn't fun, plus each video lasts 4 or 5 minutes, with no other videos of the same celeb, like this one, which is why I know it's mostly just to get us average folk to sign up to find our family tree!

Soooo....Richard was having an affair, had a kid, and decided to accuse his wife of adultery (did he pay off the servants to testify on his behalf?) to get rid of her, had another kid, finally succeeded in divorcing his first wife.
In the meanwhile his first two kids with Sarah are illegitimate. I wish they had found the marriage certificate between him and Sarah to look at the date. Did they find it and I missed it?

I liked her story more than anyone else's so far.

I always thought ms Coleman looked a bit Indian but her mum looks totally white looks are deceptive! Seems a genuine lovely person!

[RickyVlogs]

British archives are the treasure of the world .

[priyanand]

Is there a vedio after this??... I saw till her indian ancestor got married and had 5 kids... What about the rest of the story??

[PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

I like that two tier umbrella. I've never seen the like :-)

[shireenpadhye]

Also Olivia's real name is SARAH.

Is it possible that Charles Young Bazett borned on 12.9.1807 was actually Margaret Bosset the 1st wife's son (together with William Bazett, his older brother borned in 1806) n a step son to Ms Sarah Bazett the 2nd wife?

[neitan]

I want to know if the ex-wife married the harpist!

[yvonneheald]

What did she think an archive looked like. Quote oh wow!! Blah blah.

[Themanwhocameback]

Olivia's had quite a lot of work done on her face since "The Iron Lady".
