Kim Cattrell Discovers Grandfather Was a Stowaway | Who Do You Think You Are?

[@dee2251]

Kim seems such a lovely down to earth person. She’s lovely .

[@beyourself2444]

This is a very real story. Everybody wants to be related to royalty or someone famous, but most of us are just normal average run of the mill people navigating life’s happiness and disappointments.

[@lisalefleur2977]

Kim's has a very beautiful speaking voice.

[@ML-ul2zq]

I've only seen the edited version with her meeting with the aunts. The part about him leaving for America in 1935 and forced to return is fascinating.

[@katrabbit]

The rest is quite amazing to hear...

[@aprilannreyes3470]

It’s so shocking the lady immediately recognized her and her aunts!!!! Wow

[@heatherspence3848]

I have always loved Kim through her interviews but when the alcohol was mentioned to the elders I loved when she said he must’ve been a very sad man

[@vanikaedward1793]

Amazed how well it’s documented

[@coltond2600]

My great grandfather was like him. Lied about his name on every legal document finally found out who he was a few years ago. Do to finding legal paperwork. Turns out he left my great grandma shortly after my grandmother was a few years old. Turns out he was having an affair with one of my great grandmother friends family member. He left never divorced and so called married the other woman and had 9 children. He had 2 with my great grandmother.

[@unknownunknown7393]

1:14 aw! She was stastrucked

[@scarletredmagic6724]

Their mother was worried about George she wasn't worried about her three granddaughters and she knew where they were

[@amygareis6276]

Tremendously sad. The family could have helped Kim's grandma and aunts.

[@du7857]

Hopefully The Mother did what she could to help her grandchildren.

[@ians713]

Of course you would be more worried about your missing son that 3 grandkids you know are ok

[@angels0auras]

This is kind of like a movie I don't want to end

[@dorothyhopkins2128]

The story I saw on tele at the end Kim gets in touch with George’s children in Australia ,they did not now anything about his other wife and children

[@Geenine44]

These Ladies are her grand Aunts if they are her grandfather’s sisters.

[@terrybaker8156]

So that means that the lady at the beginning knows Kim’s aunt Dorothy as well as Kim’s great aunt Edna (who is her mother’s aunt and of course Dorothy’s aunt). I wonder if she ever put 2 and 2 together and realised

[@CaptainGrimes1]

Huh?

[@jeh7079]

Quite normal in Liverpool, people all know each other somewhat

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

J e h you really think that everyone in Liverpool knows everyone else? Nope.

[@dbcoco]

and his family never thought to ask about and help the 3 little children George left behind?!

[@mariacampos8234]

George never told his new family about the family he abandoned, he was very secretive about his past; they had no knowledge of another family left high and dry, so how could they have helped Kim's family??

[@dbcoco]

yes but George’s sisters and parents knew of his 1. wife and 3 daughters. From what I understand in this storyline, George’s parents never followed up or checked upon their 3 grandchildren. This I find sad.

[@lisasim]

He also left his parents behind, never looked back.

[@charlottebruce979]

Yes exactly, seems like the whole family was a selfish, narcissistic lot. My ex mother in law was the same, I was left with four children by her son and she NEVER once offered help. Thank God for my mum.🙏

[@stephjovi]

My dad's family was similar. When my dad walked out on us they never gave a f about us at all. My older sister wanted to see her a a few years ago and my uncle told her, grandma only wants to see the imidiate family, meaning his family.

[@GraceTruth29]

Kim Cattrell you are so beautiful ❤

[@katarzynamuszynska5426]

Well these 2 sisters of her grandfather must so much younger then him because they were still alive

[@likeablesdaily]

The only think i cant believe is that how someone couldnt have any photograph of their lifetime

[@archeewaters]

intriguing

[@cordelia81]

It may look selfish but it could be poverty or authism as well..egoism or fears

[@nillyk5671]

Or narcissism.

[@heidinein645]

There are several men who got new wifes, who never agrees with left wifes and children from before....so they had new familys...and kept quiet. But certainly they had Problems all they life for sure...

[@stevendeitrich6933]

I think it's sad that someone has to track their grandfather with no picture ! People should know their relatives !

[@katarzynamuszynska5426]

She walking on the streets of Liverpool and nobody knows who she is...

[@cordelia81]

Social fears...? It must not be selfishness

[@stevewarren4813]

So, she had two ne'er-do-well grandfathers.

[@katarzynamuszynska5426]

Hang on ! Is her grandfather sister was still alive?

[@wackynicolecsu]

Yes, the two ladies she is talking to at the beginning, there are his two sisters

[@cordelia81]

Thats how people used to leave their old life...bringing kids over after settling...

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

Kim doesn’t seem to realize that men did whatever they wanted and their wives had no choice but to put up with their bull or practically starve.

[@wandertree]

Stop with the man hating. There were bad apples amongst men just like there have been bad women. There have also been upstanding men who loved their families, just like there have been good women who have loved their families. Sick to death of people who try to color everyone with one brush. It's bigoted, and it needs to stop.

[@MichaelaH2059]

Bad men did as did bad women.

[@Dzanarika1]

Eveeything is still the same.

[@katarzynamuszynska5426]

So her grandfather went to america and back to liverpool has another baby and left his wife again ?

[@Dzanarika1]

Mk ultra victim?

[@heatherspence3848]

❤️❤️❤️🤯🤯🤯

[@Sarah-xw2ff]

I have trouble believing George never talked to his family after his new marriage. I think they're playing dumb. This is a sad story and they should have checked on the girls and contributed to their welfare. His daughters were dressed in rags.

[@araucariapasquale1]

Why does she always speak in such an artificially forced hushed voice, like she is a 70s receptionist at a high class law firm.

[@terrybaker8156]

Araucaria Pasquale classically trained actress

[@llcooljay520]

This is largely how she sounds in Mannequin. Obviously very different voice and character from Samantha Jones.

[@My2up2downCastle]

Oh get over yourself

[@lizlee6290]

Geez, maybe that's the way her natural speaking voice sounds!

[@clairegolden8261]

Because that’s how she speaks. Sorry your voice is high pitched and squeaky.
