If you could pop into a Time machine..where would you visit?

[Northern Lass]

So let's pretend you can travel back in time

Ok where would you like to visit and why?

1) St Mary's Church, Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia on the 3rd February 1867 at the wedding of John Cook and Ann Devery. I would hold a gun to the Priests head and forced him to write clearly in the marriage register. HIs pathetic writing cost me many hours of wasted effort. I would kick him in the shins as I left just so he had a reminder.

2) I would slowly go back in time in an effort to find out what came first, chicken or egg.

3) I would go forward in time and check out ancestry.com every few years to make sure the decendants have the tree correct and give them a few hints in person.

My first stop would be Staffordshire and it wood be around 1900 and I'd work my way backwards.
Next stop would be Hope in Flintshire around the same period, from there I would go to Abertillery 1934 and try and find out what my granddad Griffiths was doing there and why he was buried there when there is a large Griffiths family grave in Yorkshire. Then I would pop to Wiltshire and try and find my Great granddad Green's birth and find out who his mother was.

I would like to pop back to the 1891 census and see what this William Rose of mine and Gardeners was really like.
and
where he buried his wife

I am sure he did her in!
Cos I cannot find her death cert and can't find her on the following census!

1934 and back, to find out what England was like in the days of Yore. "Englands Green and Pleasant Land"

I'd have to go back to ancient Egypt to find out just how they did build those pyramids.

I'll come with you! Would be amazing!

I would also stop off to see Sarah Wain who married Jacob Round. They had children before they were married, all have the middle name of Wain. They married and then she died shortly afterwards, cant think off hand what it was? Something do with an infection in her skin. Ery something...
I just feel a strange connection to her. I'd love to know what sort of person she was.

Also Neri Watts, he married Anne Parks, a sister of Sarah Parkes who is related to me. His name just seemed well known to me and I couldnt let it go, as though I knew him? I dont of course! But he kept me hunting! Love to meet him and see who he was.
Oh my list would be endless!

I'm going back before 10 Jan 1932 to ensure that my great grandfather, Fergus George Perry makes a will. Instead the lawyers got all the money as his children fought in the courts. My one chance of being left a fortune and he blew it!

While I'm there, I'll just have a serious talk to Fergus' wife Elizabeth Smith and convince her to stop telling fibs about her age and tell me when and where she really was born, and who her parents were.

Then it's off to Ireland around 1800 to chase up umpteen rellies all over the place and have some good craic about who's related to whom and when their birthdays all are.
