It does happen Graham Norton. My husband's supposed 2nd great grandfather was a widower aged 51, when he married a 22-year-old woman (hubby's ancestress) who was 8 months pregnant. We figured it out why he waited 8 months to marry her. His eldest son was 24 and married with 2 children, we believe he had got the girl pregnant, so his widowed dad married the girl. We figured it out when my husband's sister found out they shared DNA with his first wife's sister's and brother's descendants. They descend from the 2nd wife, and through her son with whom she was 8 months pregnant when they married. They went on to have 5 more children after him and those descendants do not share DNA with the first wife's siblings' descendants. Not too bad a deal for him, a man over 50 and a widower to get a young wife by simply claiming his grandchild as his child by marrying the grandchild's mother. So, he is actually hubby's 3rd great grandfather.
In Australia, back in the day, people often had to wait until a priest or minister of the church visited on their circuit. Often people had several children before the marriage was formalised by 'the church'!
this is from 2007, 17 years ago, and if that was recorded around the same time, that’d mean he was about 44! I was thinking mid to at most late 20s not older than me (30s), he looked like a foetus hah
My Paternal Grandfathers mother was a Norton. She was born in Ireland but immigrated to the states as a child with her parents. I dont know very much about her.
This is fascinating. I just love Graham
He showed have a lot of poise and humor going through that❤

Wow, that's quite a story. Thank you for sharing. This could be quite helpful for figuring out some confusion in my family tree... thank you

The first baby can come at any time; the second one takes 9 months.
Computers look like from the 90's... early 2000's
this is a very old show, one of the first seasons
You can divide the eras by Graham sporting a beard or not. Without beard: old times, with beard, modern times.
not saying he looks old now, he doesn’t, but you can tell he was much younger

My 123 grandma Hanley was an angel. My great Aunt Rosemary lived with her. I regret not asking my dad more about them.
Have you tried to do any searches for them. It can be amazing just how much you can find.
@quillingmama they have both passed. There were a few faux pas that I never brought up, but these ladies, didn't bat an eye.
