It's so weird, seeing her back on Oxford Road. Her old family home is about 140 metres away from me. Her sister lived there, when everyone else left and she was always lovely.
Nineteenth-century drummer boys (Army) and powder monkeys (Navy) were often very young, and lowest-rank officers often in their mid-teens. The British military still has officers and other ranks that are younger than their counterparts in other countries. Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence was a midshipman at 17, and I believe that 16 year-olds can enlist.
I'm a genealogist so have a tip: the easiest way to display the relevance of an ancestor is through abbreviation so Kate Winslet's ancestor here is her Gx3 GF shorter than Great Great Great Grandfather. BTW if he was an Uncle he would be her Gx3 GU or Great Great Great Granduncle. It's "Grand Uncle" not Great Uncle because the generation is the same as a GRANDfather or mother.
By your logic, nobody should be calling their grandparents' siblings to be their great aunts/uncles. So what you're saying makes no sense given that that is how we tend to do it in the English language. Never in my life have I ever heard anyone refer to a sibling of their grandparent as their grand-aunt or grand-uncle.
@@PercivalC It's not MY logic. I used to use the word Great Uncle but then with the latest release of Family Tree maker it showed Grand Uncle. When I asked professionals they said, Since my GRANDfather's brother is the same generation he is called a Grand Uncle. I hear both Grand and Great from people so it's not a law. Jeez, lighten up.
@Nicky L No it's not. Your Grand Uncle is the same generation as your GRANDfather or GRANDmother. That is the correct way according to logical genealogy terms. However because of many online websites saying Great Uncle the incorrect term gained popularity so many people say that.
@@rolandmiller5456 originally a Scottish name, seat of the family is Luss, Loch Lomond. The Colquhoun name probably gets to Ireland as they were loyal to the British Crown.
An interesting aside : there is, or was a dialect of Scotland, which pronounced wh, as in what, as Quhat, closer ( I think ) to the Anglo-Saxon pronunciation

One of her 32 three times great grandparents.
So Kate Winsletts Ancestor and mine were BOTH in the Queens own guard...Mine was in the band. Just found this out 3 weeks ago...🤣
Slight correction on the name Colquhoun, it’s of Scottish origin not Irish.
And I suspect the researcher mispronounced it as well.
I agree; my family comes from that clan. Don't look at my last name now, that's American somehow. But I definitely know my Colquhoun's!
@@Gwen-joyful-lightso she was pronouncing it correctly then..... Wow it always amazes me that people know more about you than you yourself
It sucks that only celebrities can do this show
Ancestry does regular shmoes like us ..I binged a few hours worth..deff worth the watch imo
@@grocker5382 where can I watch it
How can shmoes get a hold of this show to do it? Yet another reason I don't subscribe
Colquhon is slightly different spelling is Calhoun in the US
Is this a reupload? I swear I've seen this exact video already

Colquhoun is a Scottish surname.
Well, there‘s a surprise, I went to uni with Emma Jolly.
I have a feeling that guard was doing more than walking the grounds....
0:10 ☝🏻 EXCUSE ME. *Scottish* surname.
It can be both.

I have Scottish Colquhoun family
❤️
Is this before her dad cloned all those dinosaurs on that island?
TL Mitchell : haha Do you think Kate Winslet's father really looks a lot like the late British actor and director Sir Richard Attenbrough ???? haha

The military historian has no British accent. Is he in American?
Or Canadian?
Sounds American
I think Canadian
