FOLLOW US ON TWITTER 👉 twitter.com/wdytya_ukCHECK OUT THE WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE WEBSITE 👉 http://bit.ly/WdytyaBBCWhen he was just 10 years old, Martin Freeman’s father died of a heart attack. As a child, the actor tried to show people that he was a “brave little four-foot thunderball”. “I’ve only realised how tough it is as I’ve got older,” he says at the start of his episode of Who Do You Think You Are? The early loss of his father had another effect: Martin knows “embarrassingly little” about his dad’s side of the family.To fill in the gaps, Martin begins by researching the life of his grandfather, Leonard. When the Second World War began, Leonard headed to France as part of the ill-fated British Expeditionary Force. It was a chaotic time and military records show that Leonard, a medic, was killed a couple of days before the evacuation from Dunkirk began.At the Imperial War Museum, Martin sees the war diary of the 150th Field Ambulance, Leonard’s unit. It says that two men died as the result of a Luftwaffe attack on 24 May 1940, but gives no names. Martin next heads for Wenlock Barracks in Hull. Here, he at last gets confirmation that Leonard died in an air raid. He also sees a memorial to his grandfather.Going back a generation, Martin also wants to know more about his great grandfather, Richard William Freeman, who was born in 1853. The 1871 census records deliver a surprise: Richard was blind and is listed as living in a special school in Hampstead. The school, now run by the Royal London Society for the Blind, has moved to Kent, but its archives are intact. Martin learns that, at a time when education reformers were recognising that blind people could lead independent lives, Richard was trained as a musician.By the 1880s, Richard was living in Worthing, Sussex. He was organist at St Andrew’s Church, West Tarring and lived in a generously proportioned house. Despite his blindness, Richard had joined the middle classes. He was married and had a large family.In 1891, Richard’s first wife, Fanny, died. While Richard remarried, his life was starting to unravel. An 1894 entry in the parish magazine reads: “The circumstances under which the post of organist at Tarring became vacant are well known to our readers.” However, there’s little hint as to exactly what scandal might have occurred. The 1901 census shows Richard’s family scattered. There’s no death certificate for Richard’s second wife, Emily.By the time of the 1901 census, Richard had begun to build a new life for himself, as a music teacher in Hull. He was married to Aida, Leonard’s mother. In Humberside, Martin meets one of Aida’s grandchildren and sees a picture of her. She too was blind. Martin also learns that the couple, while they had a large family, lost six children.Via visits to Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Royal Society of Medicine, Martin realises that Aida probably had syphilis. There are two main clues. Firstly, her brother died of the disease. Secondly, there’s a distinctive pattern to the loss of her children, which suggests she probably contracted the disease a second time, from Richard.We shouldn’t be too surprised by this, says Dr Peter Greenhouse, an expert in sexual health. A century ago, 10 per cent of the population had syphilis, so a huge percentage of people tracing their family tree can expect to encounter the disease.But despite the tragedies that beset her, Aida raised a family, lived to her 90s and married again – twice. And the lesson of Aida’s eventful life? “You kind of wonder how many extraordinary characters everyone has got in their family,” concludes Martin, “that we’re all made up of these extraordinary people.”

Ricky Tomlinson Uncovers His Family’s Union Past Who Do You Think You Are? 2023-01-05 | Ricky Tomlinson discovers his family’s involvement with one of the most significant strikes in Liverpool history. 🚨 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE 🔔 : http://bit.ly/WDYTYAytRicky Tomlinson is well known for playing the archetypal Scouser and it turns out that his Liverpool roots run deep. Ricky discovers that he comes from generations of carters, who transported goods on Liverpool's docks when the city was the British Empire's busiest port.▶ WATCH MORE WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE: http://bit.ly/WDYTYAClips📺 British Prime Minister Boris Johnson 👉 bit.ly/B0RlSJ0HNSON 📺 Academy Award-winning actress Olivia Colman 👉 bit.ly/0IiviaCoIman 📺 Chat show king Graham Norton 👉 bit.ly/GrahamN0rt0n In each episode, one of Britain's best-loved celebrities traces their family tree to reveal the surprising, extraordinary and often moving stories of their ancestors.

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER 👉 twitter.com/wdytya_uk CHECK OUT THE WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE WEBSITE 👉 http://bit.ly/WdytyaBBCThe actor Ricky Tomlinson has one simple question as he sets out to trace his father’s family: “Who were the Tomlinsons?” It’s a question rooted in regrets over not asking his dad – Albert, who was just 55 when he died – about the family’s story. The answer to the question involves a journey through Liverpool’s 19th-century history. Ricky’s first information arrives via a meeting with his brother, Albert, who has a copy of their grandfather’s death certificate. This reveals that Richard Tomlinson was born c1886.

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER 👉 twitter.com/wdytya_ukCHECK OUT THE WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE WEBSITE 👉 http://bit.ly/WdytyaBBCWhen he was just 10 years old, Martin Freeman’s father died of a heart attack. As a child, the actor tried to show people that he was a “brave little four-foot thunderball”. “I’ve only realised how tough it is as I’ve got older,” he says at the start of his episode of Who Do You Think You Are? The early loss of his father had another effect: Martin knows “embarrassingly little” about his dad’s side of the family.To fill in the gaps, Martin begins by researching the life of his grandfather, Leonard. When the Second World War began, Leonard headed to France as part of the ill-fated British Expeditionary Force. It was a chaotic time and military records show that Leonard, a medic, was killed a couple of days before the evacuation from Dunkirk began.At the Imperial War Museum, Martin sees the war diary of the 150th Field Ambulance, Leonard’s unit. It says that two men died as the result of a Luftwaffe attack on 24 May 1940, but gives no names. Martin next heads for Wenlock Barracks in Hull. Here, he at last gets confirmation that Leonard died in an air raid. He also sees a memorial to his grandfather.Going back a generation, Martin also wants to know more about his great grandfather, Richard William Freeman, who was born in 1853. The 1871 census records deliver a surprise: Richard was blind and is listed as living in a special school in Hampstead. The school, now run by the Royal London Society for the Blind, has moved to Kent, but its archives are intact. Martin learns that, at a time when education reformers were recognising that blind people could lead independent lives, Richard was trained as a musician.By the 1880s, Richard was living in Worthing, Sussex. He was organist at St Andrew’s Church, West Tarring and lived in a generously proportioned house. Despite his blindness, Richard had joined the middle classes. He was married and had a large family.In 1891, Richard’s first wife, Fanny, died. While Richard remarried, his life was starting to unravel. An 1894 entry in the parish magazine reads: “The circumstances under which the post of organist at Tarring became vacant are well known to our readers.” However, there’s little hint as to exactly what scandal might have occurred. The 1901 census shows Richard’s family scattered. There’s no death certificate for Richard’s second wife, Emily.By the time of the 1901 census, Richard had begun to build a new life for himself, as a music teacher in Hull. He was married to Aida, Leonard’s mother. In Humberside, Martin meets one of Aida’s grandchildren and sees a picture of her. She too was blind. Martin also learns that the couple, while they had a large family, lost six children.Via visits to Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Royal Society of Medicine, Martin realises that Aida probably had syphilis. There are two main clues. Firstly, her brother died of the disease. Secondly, there’s a distinctive pattern to the loss of her children, which suggests she probably contracted the disease a second time, from Richard.We shouldn’t be too surprised by this, says Dr Peter Greenhouse, an expert in sexual health. A century ago, 10 per cent of the population had syphilis, so a huge percentage of people tracing their family tree can expect to encounter the disease.But despite the tragedies that beset her, Aida raised a family, lived to her 90s and married again – twice. And the lesson of Aida’s eventful life? “You kind of wonder how many extraordinary characters everyone has got in their family,” concludes Martin, “that we’re all made up of these extraordinary people.”

The answer to the question involves a journey through Liverpool’s 19th-century history. Ricky’s first information arrives via a meeting with his brother, Albert, who has a copy of their grandfather’s death certificate. This reveals that Richard Tomlinson was born c1886. Armed with this clue, Ricky is able to trace his family back to his 3x great-grandfather, Richard Tomlinson. The men of Ricky’s family worked as carters.

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER 👉 twitter.com/wdytya_ukCHECK OUT THE WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE WEBSITE 👉 http://bit.ly/WdytyaBBCWhen he was just 10 years old, Martin Freeman’s father died of a heart attack. As a child, the actor tried to show people that he was a “brave little four-foot thunderball”. “I’ve only realised how tough it is as I’ve got older,” he says at the start of his episode of Who Do You Think You Are? The early loss of his father had another effect: Martin knows “embarrassingly little” about his dad’s side of the family.To fill in the gaps, Martin begins by researching the life of his grandfather, Leonard. When the Second World War began, Leonard headed to France as part of the ill-fated British Expeditionary Force. It was a chaotic time and military records show that Leonard, a medic, was killed a couple of days before the evacuation from Dunkirk began.At the Imperial War Museum, Martin sees the war diary of the 150th Field Ambulance, Leonard’s unit. It says that two men died as the result of a Luftwaffe attack on 24 May 1940, but gives no names. Martin next heads for Wenlock Barracks in Hull. Here, he at last gets confirmation that Leonard died in an air raid. He also sees a memorial to his grandfather.Going back a generation, Martin also wants to know more about his great grandfather, Richard William Freeman, who was born in 1853. The 1871 census records deliver a surprise: Richard was blind and is listed as living in a special school in Hampstead. The school, now run by the Royal London Society for the Blind, has moved to Kent, but its archives are intact. Martin learns that, at a time when education reformers were recognising that blind people could lead independent lives, Richard was trained as a musician.By the 1880s, Richard was living in Worthing, Sussex. He was organist at St Andrew’s Church, West Tarring and lived in a generously proportioned house. Despite his blindness, Richard had joined the middle classes. He was married and had a large family.In 1891, Richard’s first wife, Fanny, died. While Richard remarried, his life was starting to unravel. An 1894 entry in the parish magazine reads: “The circumstances under which the post of organist at Tarring became vacant are well known to our readers.” However, there’s little hint as to exactly what scandal might have occurred. The 1901 census shows Richard’s family scattered. There’s no death certificate for Richard’s second wife, Emily.By the time of the 1901 census, Richard had begun to build a new life for himself, as a music teacher in Hull. He was married to Aida, Leonard’s mother. In Humberside, Martin meets one of Aida’s grandchildren and sees a picture of her. She too was blind. Martin also learns that the couple, while they had a large family, lost six children.Via visits to Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Royal Society of Medicine, Martin realises that Aida probably had syphilis. There are two main clues. Firstly, her brother died of the disease. Secondly, there’s a distinctive pattern to the loss of her children, which suggests she probably contracted the disease a second time, from Richard.We shouldn’t be too surprised by this, says Dr Peter Greenhouse, an expert in sexual health. A century ago, 10 per cent of the population had syphilis, so a huge percentage of people tracing their family tree can expect to encounter the disease.But despite the tragedies that beset her, Aida raised a family, lived to her 90s and married again – twice. And the lesson of Aida’s eventful life? “You kind of wonder how many extraordinary characters everyone has got in their family,” concludes Martin, “that we’re all made up of these extraordinary people.”

Following a diagnosis of depression, she trained in cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness, and has since worked tirelessly to promote better understanding of mental health issues.“I think I have lived most of my life in a high anxiety state and so I want to know where that came from,” she says. “And I keep blaming my parents.

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER 👉 twitter.com/wdytya_ukCHECK OUT THE WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE WEBSITE 👉 http://bit.ly/WdytyaBBCThe Texan supermodel Jerry Hall first found fame soon after moving to Paris as a teenager. But where did Mick Jagger’s partner for more than 20 years get her “pioneer spirit”, her sense of adventure? “I suppose it’s in the genes,” she says at the start of her episode of Who Do You Think You Are? “We’ll find out.” The first forebear Jerry goes searching for is a paternal great grandfather, James Hall, but she doesn’t initially find traces of him in the New World. Rather, Jerry heads for Oldham in Lancashire, where she learns James was a child labourer, who worked in a cotton mill as a ‘piecer’, responsible for repairing yarn breakages even as the mill’s machines kept running. James was promoted to become a supervisor, but in 1881, as he turned 30, his life changed forever when he shipped out for Texas. He was drawn by the prospect of well-paid work constructing the railways and the opportunity to acquire land. Initially, he left his family, a wife and two children, in the UK, and Jerry fears he was “an adventurous cad” who did “a runner”. James’s family joined him in 1882, only for his wife, Martha, to die of kidney disease in 1883. It’s unclear what happened to James’s baby son, but it seems a family friend adopted his daughter, Clara.
