Does Liz Carr have Irish roots? |

Silent Witness actor Liz Carr gets forensic about her family history. She investigates a rumour that an ancestor was involved in some sort of assault, discovering that her paternal great-great-great-grandfather was involved in the attempted murder of a prominent landlord in rural Northern Ireland in the 1850s. On her mother's side, she learns about her grandfather, who died when her mother was just two. Orphaned as a child, John Joseph Hughes took part in the Royal Navy's Northern Patrol during the First World War, then joined the merchant navy and travelled the world.

This is great. Reveals a lot about Irish rural society at the time.

A million people died due to the British government's lack of a response. And exporting all the live stock to England.

[@afctaylor12]

Considering that meny of government where Irish including at least 2 prime ministers at that point difficult to use word British

​@@afctaylor12dont be niave....this is common knowledge

[@Dreyno]

@@afctaylor12Are you under the impression that the Anglo-Irish were anything other than British? You’re either a complete ignoramus of a disingenuous pleb trying to defend Britain’s good name when it doesn’t deserve it.

​@afctaylor12 name these Irish people, is the duke of boot one of them ? Who else? Typical duplicity, to say that many of the government were Irish. A Liar and a Clown.

My grandfather's sister in Ireland married a Carr. I was hoping to hear about that side of the family. I guess I'll have to find the whole programme.
