  • Episode three: The Wonders of Wordsworth House
    A family divided. Two divergent paths. Rags and riches. In episode three, Suzannah meets Charlotte, the 4 x great-granddaughter of poet and national treasure William Wordsworth. Exploring Wordsworth House and the surrounding streets in Cockermouth, they retrace the steps of Charlotte's ancestors and discover how two branches of this famous family had very different fates. As the story comes full circle, where will we find the Wordsworth relatives in the 1921 Census. What if you could follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and reveal the hidden tales behind some of the UK’s fascinating historical locations? Join historian Professor Suzannah Lipscomb and the experts at Findmypast as they visit a range of locations cared for by the National Trust, to uncover the stories that took place there. Each episode will explore the family tree of a guest whose ancestors played a key role in the history of the property.

    In collaboration with the National Trust, we meet David Higginson, whose ancestors lived and worked at Quarry Bank, one of Britain's greatest industrial heritage sites.

Stopping by key places along the way, including the cottage his 5 x great-grandparents lived in, David learns more about his family's remarkable past. By telling David's story, we're telling thousands of connected British family stories. Stories that echo through time and affect how we view the world around us today.
