  • Pop star Lulu has always wanted to get to the bottom of a family mystery. She knows that her mum, the middle child of seven, was the only one to be given up by her birth parents and raised by another family, but she has no idea why. Lulu travels home to Glasgow, where she uncovers the real-life Romeo and Juliet story of her Catholic grandfather and Protestant grandmother's love affair across the city's strict sectarian divide. Digging deeper, she discovers some dark secrets about her grandfather's past which force her to reassess what she thought she knew about her mum's story.

    My late husband's mother was raised Protestant. She fell in love with a Catholic man. Her father told her that if she married her love, her family would immediately disown her and none of them would ever speak to her again. Forty years later, the day her father died, my mother-in-law's brother called her and arranged a visit. This happened here in the U.S.

      That was common. Catholics were often looked down upon as well. You simply did not ‘mix’ religions.

    Very similar thing happened to my mother's partner. He found out at school when he was about 7 that his mother wasn't his real mother, but his foster mother. Some of his siblings were also placed with her but the mother took them back. She thought it would be wrong taking him back because the foster mother was all he'd even known. He found his siblings again at the age of 70 via ancestry dna. They hadn't forgotten him 😢

    My mom was given away, as the only one of 9 children. Her mother was a house hold help, her father was alcohol addicted. The unmarried sisters her mother cleaned for said to her "if it's a girl, we would be happy to take her" and my grandmom agreed. She was overwhelmed and dead poor. My mother always knew and had to visit with her birth family but had such a different life and upbringing that it never came to real bonding. I think in that generation it was far more common to hand children over for their own benefit and to enlighten the burden on overwhelmed moms. These women often were pregnant within a few months after the last baby was born, it was havock for them.

    I'm surprised that Lulu has not seen her cousin since the 1960? if that is true they look happy to see her

    Mixed marriages were not so unusual. Contentious in the families but not rare at all.

    • @cg8397
      @cg8397 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Statistically, they were rare. Most people prefer spouses like themselves.

    It's all a load of crap when people get all het up about the differences. I come from a family of mixed religions, none of us worry about it. I was a Cairns from Edinburgh.

    Lulu is more beautiful each year ❤. My older sister introduced me to her music and I have loved her ever since mid 70s❤. Family secrets and skeletons are painful. Its very sad what parents had to do back then 😢

    You go for a job interview in London and communicate in a glasgow accent in the 60’s. She had to change hers or she would not be where she is today.

    What happened to Lulu’s Glaswegian accent? It’s odd that she can go back and forth!

      @user-wn3qy5sz6z หลายเดือนก่อน

      @htimsid She goes from American accent to Scottish to English. False through and through. And not talented at all. Second rate. Always has been. That's my point!!!

      I think you need to be grateful, provided that you were raised by a loving family.
