• The Sunny Side of the IslandProject Description: "The Sunny Side of the Island investigates an ancestor and namesake Colonel Harry Compton, who was awarded a township of land (around 20,000 acres) by King George III in Prince Edward Island, Canada following his service in the Irish Rebellion in 1798. Consequently, he lived on the island between 1804-1816. The series is named so as it was his son Thomas Compton who named the city 'Summerside' where the series is based as it was located on 'The Sunny Side of the Island'.
