A much better episode, I thought, so obviously the character of the Celeb

I think a comparison between Dervla Kirwan & Rupert Everett was sufficient
to make that clear!

However, I was much puzzled as to why he went to the Scotlands People
Centre (which they wrongly called the National Archives - that's upstairs
and out back) to look at the English and Channel Islands census? As far
as I saw, he didn't actually look at any Scottish records.....

I kept expecting them discover that it wasn't THAT Keillor family, but it
WAS!

I got the impression that it was only after he got to Edinburgh that he
discovered William had been in the Channel Islands & not in Dundee.

And that's what I can't work out. If you use their terminals, you normally
can only get at the scottish records. They must have changed all the
settings just so that he could see the Snglish & Channel Islands census.
