Henry Hallam

 was the ancestor of Melanie Bush and John Hallam. He questioned and helped Mel when she sent back in time to 1782. He wasn't used to being host, as his late wife used to do the honours. He allowed Mel to stay at his hall until she was better. He wanted to marry Mel, but, knowing that she couldn't, she turned him down. (AUDIO: Catch-1782)
