Greg Davies Shocked By Illegitimate Child Scandal | Who Do You Think You Are

[@blairkilgallon8741]

I love that he gets so excited with himself and just blurts out “ so the butcher was made up!” Then he realises who he’s talking to “And that won’t mean anything to you.” 🤣🤣

[@Morgan-ug2rt]

So weird to see him being so well behaved.

He did a documentary about the book and film Kes, it was brilliant.

There are no illegitimate children, perhaps illegitimate parents; the children should not be labeled. ❤️

[@teaCupkk]

Nonsense. Those children are damaged goods and should be labelled accordingly. These half-orphans inherit the weaknesses of their parents, be it a bad temperament or week moral fiber. At the very least, they are saddled with misfortune, and a lack of proper care as they grow up. Let them wear the stigma.

[@I.DONT.read.notifs.hatefuljerk]

And the fathers of illegitimate children weren't shamed. Nobody called them whores. Same thing happens today. Ask why.

[@LS-gh9hl]

Because we still live in a patriarchal society....

[@crystalglass7106]

use to wait table n then moved to tending bar. more women called each other that than men saying that they called other women sweetie or Honey to their face but out of earshot it was something else

[@debd7631]

No entirely true...father's of the lower class were shamed for illegitimate children. If a child were conceived out of wedlock...it was expected that the father would marry the mother...if he didn't he was considered a man of ill repute as well. Certainly not as shamed as the mothers, but not glorified either. The vast majority of people in history were living hard and oppressed lives...Men and women alike.

[@DONTcareAnymore000]

weird world. Children don't have to deal with society's unreasonableness

[@tomsawyer4321]

Hahaha today nobody gives a hoot whether somebody is married or not when they have kids in fact its positively encouraged. You’ve just heard a story about a man with no money faces prison for child support…….keep fantasizing about the non existing patriarchy you professional victims

[@mariannejennisch9293]

The families not liking those illegitimate children has never gone away. When it’s not your fault.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

It's not my fault? What a relief! I was worried.

[@Cozycountry1]

My nieces were born out of wedlock, all 3 with the same father, my parents never had any problem with it nor shunned my sister. It is ridiculous to give humans the phrase "illegitimate" as if they are not a whole, proper person if a made up ceremony and vows makes children born to married couples "superior". There are plenty who have long relationships until death that don't marry and divorce is on the rise and those children pushed between 2 houses.

[@ShellL]

Sadly until 2-3 generations ago children born out of wedlock were indeed written up as bas….rd & it will have been on both of the Birth Certificates as well. It was a disgusting thing to do to innocent babies.

[@Coach-Daisy]

that title should have been given to nasty fathers not the kids they left that is why now they put the spotlights on bad fathers finally

[@roberthudson1959]

Since that was the legal term for an illegitimate child, it wasn't disgusting at all. On the other hand, getting permission from the judge to use a racial epithet in court (a common practice in the Jim Crow era) was disgusting.

[@NoalFarstrider]

Lol, he had a second baby momma and couldn't make payments. Time changes, nothing else does.

I imagine these are the same kind of things I'd learn about my great grandfather if I ever investigated my family tree. Got drunk on a horse. Got drunk and fell off some rocks. Got drunk and knocked my great grandma up. Maybe Greg and I are related.

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

My grandad was driving drunk and died in a car crash. His dad (my great grandad) was sitting at a stoplight in the 80's and was rear-ended by a drunk and killed. It was a shock when I discovered that his dad (my 2great grandad) had been a rum-runner during US prohibition. (textbook irony😏)

[@frankhooper7871]

Appearing on one census with your grand-parents doesn't necessarily mean you're living with them. It could just be that you just happened to be spending the night of the census there. As a child, I certainly spent the night at my grand-parents' house occasionally.

[@pamelaspooner8335]

Yes, thank you for pointing that out. With family history, jumping to conclusions without supporting proof defeats the whole purpose of getting to the facts of your family's past.

[@hrantgeorge2444]

Then you would be visiting with your grandparents, not living with your grandparents. If it was a competent census that question should have been asked.

@@hrantgeorge2444 Have done a lot of research on the Victorian records, especially censuses. It was not always mentioned if you were a visitor rather than part of the household so still possible the child was visiting.
