Manage episode 431257707 series 3474682
Join Dr Michala Hulme on "Unearth the Past" as she unravels the incredible family history of Paul Smith, one of Britain's most loved comedians who is selling out arenas up and down the country with his hilarious Pablo tour. As Paul shares his journey, we explore his Irish heritage, which was discovered through an Ancestry DNA test.
We also uncover Paul's Liverpool ancestors, with stories of resilience, hard work and a will to succeed. We also reveal the heart-wrenching loss of young Bernard Cain and the harrowing experiences of Philip Cain during WWI. We also unearth the intriguing narrative of John Stenson, who made headlines in the 1880s for aiding the police during an assault.
Shifting our focus, we dive into Paul's maternal heritage, unveiling tales of heroism and tragedy that have shaped his ancestry. Discover the lineage of his great-grandfather Thomas Highton and the sombre story of Mary Ann Highton, who perished during the 1940 Blitz in Liverpool. This episode is a blend of humour, history, and heartfelt moments that you won't want to miss.
