I totally agree. I have an aunt (my mother's cousin) who had the same story. Her son was always introduced as her one of ther siblings and that's the same thing the son knew. The truth was just revealed when when one of my cousins had a childish fight with him. All those years, everyone else didn't talk about it until he eventually confronted his parents and her sister.
I had a coworker whose nephew was raised as his sibling. Not because of “outdated” norms, but because the mother is unstable even now as a middle aged woman.
It is a disgrace to have bastards. Nowadays it’s so common not to have fathers. The government is the father now. I don’t like secrets like that where the mother hide their true identity to their children.
Smart how the grandparents found a way to keep him in the family and NOT adopted out. Clever and thoughtful. They had to be stealth in those days to avoid scandal.
This was common. Happened on both sides of my family, kinda. Definitely on my fathers side when a cousin was bought up alongside my grandfather as his brother, and on the other side my grandfather grew up with a half sister that he thought was his youngest aunty for 30 years. I had a cousin adopted out I didn't know until I was 17.
My dad discovered he has an older sister. His mum was born in 1896, he wasn’t born until 1935. His siblings and he had an older sister that they knew nothing about. So very sad really.
@@Marcel_Audubon She was 19. As he was born in 1917 we have assumed, possibly wrongly, that his biological father may have been killed in the First World War.
@@helenweatherby1694 did it change his relationship with her going forward, or did he continue to think of her as his sister. Was he angry at all? sorry to be so curious, but it is a fascinating story.
I hope the man was a baby created in love or simple youthful indiscretion. So many products of the r-word were raised right alongside their minor-aged mothers as siblings back in the old days. That was definitely preferable to the experiences of the ones who were smothered at birth or sent to orphanages. 😓
EDIT: looks like this show has approval for another season and has not been cancelled. Yey! I am SO sad this show has been cancelled by the BBC. They say it is to make way for new content, but surely there are other less worthy programming that could be sacrificed to make room? How about reducing the many repeats on the schedule? This program is SO good and well loved with an international audience. It some of the cast may want to do new stuff, and that is understandable but I’m sure there are loads of other skilled presenters and craftsman who could take their place? It’s rare in these times to find such wholesome content, showing and celebrating true skill and craftsmanship. This show has a valuable a message of restoring and looking after quality items with history in a time of mass produced disposable items. BBC, please reconsider.
Just fell on your channel and what a surprise my life story was the same as yours what I thought was my parents was really were my grandparents and who I thought was my sister was my birth mother I also found my adoption papers in a small box what a small world
When I was a teenager I was sitting with my sister outside a hospital waiting for our mother to finish a day surgery procedure. An old lady walked up to us and just started talking…maybe it was weighing her mind and she just needed to let it out to people who didn’t seem judgemental and she would never see again. She told us a similar story to this man but she was the mother in the situation and that her daughter wouldn’t speak to her anymore once she had found out. She was really old so I hope she reconciled with her child.
I have watched episodes of The Repair Shop for some time now and I have never seen any money change hands. Someone has to pay these talented craftspeople for their time and talent. It appears that the work is done for free.
Wow...my grandads older sister had 2 boys (she wasn't married) during the war, both were raised as her brothers. One was raised in Canada by her as brother and sister, and the other emigrated to New Zealand when he married. They both passed not knowing she was their mum. Their families only found out a few years ago when someone mentioned it, thinking they all knew! Oooops 😖🧡👍
This was super common. I'm in Nova Scotia and can tell you many similar stories. Some were aware their sibling was really their mother, some not until they were older, if at all.
@@JBond-zf4dj so I've gathered. I was actually the one who uncovered it while researching my family tree. Turns out my mum knew (her dad being the oldest brother) but it was never mentioned. I made contact with them, mentioned they had the relationship mixed up on their tree (not knowing the real story) and boom.... it was very upsetting for all involved. They were just sad to find out that their uncle was actually their brother. But sadly she was the last surviving sibling, so the others never knew. All her cousins from her now oldest brother, are actually her nieces and nephews! 😳🧡
My friend born in the 70s had this same experience - raised by grandparents she was told were her parents, actually she was the daughter of her "sister" and her "nephew" was her half-brother. I'm glad the stigma has changed and people don't need to hide teen pregnancies in such a manner any longer, and any adoption can be open and above-board.
I went to elementary school with a classmate in a similar situation. Her bio mom had her REALLY young and couldn't support her, so bio mom's parents adopted my classmate. By the time we were in school, her 'sister' wasn't living with them any longer, but at that point my classmate also knew the truth about her family (but still referred to bio mom as her sister and her grandparents as her parents, as they were, after all, raising her).
@@graceygrumble Thank you, Gracey! You are one of the best things about TH-cam! Virtual hugs to you 🤗 You are a blessing! Now we get to see how the box turned out for the man.
I have one of those boxes and before it was restored, the leather cover had also deteriorated away to nearly nothing. Under the leather was an engraved date of 1917. It also has a secret compartment which is accessed by pulling the divider between the inkwell and the central pen store. The front of the top compartment comes off (held by a steel bar) to reveal three hidden drawers. Nothing special in there was when `I got it from my uncle, the front was off as the metal bar had broken but once replaced, it worked perfectly.
My maternal uncle was the adoptee in our family. He's my mother's youngest brother and was adopted by his grandparents. He grew up believing his father was his much older brother.
I have a second cousin who at the age of 70 discovered the exact same thing. His eldest sister was his mother and who he thought were his parents were actually his grandparents. Everyone had passed and no one was alive to answer any questions. Sadly he has since passed on as well and surely he's gotten all his questions answered now.
Had a great aunt who did the same thing. Daughter fell pregnant out of wedlock which was considered terrible at the time. Sent away on a “Sabbatical” for nine months, while her mother pretended to be pregnant, until the real baby was bore and snuck back to the family home. Daughter kept quiet until she was near death, then told her daughter who was brought up as her sister, what the truth was. There was no ill feelings, and for the final few months, grandmother, mother, and daughter were much closer. Now, in this more open time, I think it is a cool bit of family history.
A friend of mine did one of those ancestry and DNA searches. Found out that she's only half sibling to her brothers and after a lot of digging around they found out that her aunt was actually her mother. The only thing she recalls about her aunt was that there was some huge argument between her parents and her aunt and her husband. After a while, the aunt used to just sit around on the porch all day like she was depressed and eventually she disappeared from their lives. She eventually found her other half siblings with whom she now has a relationship with.
So her aunt had an affair with her sister’s (your friend’s apparent mother) husband, and the arrangement was that the father’s family keep the child? It’s hard to know what the circumstances were, but I can understand the aunt / biological mother being depressed. Families are strange. It can be surprising how much changes from one generation to the next as well.
I went out with a girl who's brother was really her dad, I was with her when she met her mother for the first time since she was a baby, we met in a pub, I was amazed at all the traits they shared through genetics, both nice people, I wonder what happened to Katie, that was 40 years ago.
My housemates mother has a similar secret story. Her ''mother'' was her grandmother, and her sister was her mother. She never learned of it till after her grandmother/mother had passed I believe.
We don't have any evidence, but we think that my great great grandmother's oldest sister was actually her mom. Her legal mother was 48 at the time and, while it's possible that she was pregnant at that age, it's highly unlikely, especially in the 1860s in a poor household. I expect it happened a lot more than we think.
My great grandma on my mums side had her first child at 45 and second at 47. My grandma on my dads side was one of 12 children and one of the younger ones. One day she came home from school and there was a newborn baby in a drawer of the dresser. My grandma's older sister had given birth to a 'surprise' baby. I'm unsure of who the father was but the baby was brought up with the other children and my great grandparents took on the role of parents to the baby.
My great-grandmother was born in 1849 and had her youngest in 1890. I do not believe that it was the child of one of her daughters' because one of her daughters gave birth to an illegitimate baby the same year. The mother's baby died, the daughter's lived. In the 1900 census, the child is listed as the grandson of the head of house. In the 1910 census he is listed as the son. What happened? The daughter got married to a younger man and would have two children with him. He was not adopted by his grandparents and birth certificates were not common. My grandfather made sure his children knew the truth.
In researching my family tree I discovered that my mother's father (b 1883) had been adopted. Even my mother who had passed, hadn't known this. Further research has led me to believe that his only sibling, a sister 20 years his senior was his birth mother. My grandfather must have known he was adopted since he was referred to as such in his adopted mother's (grandmother's) will, but I still wonder if he ever knew that his birth mother was his sister.
Yes, I have seen this episode on TV. Great for his mother that his grandparents were enlightend people and did not through out his mother, which many did because they were ashamed to have an unmarried daughter having a child. I'm glad for the man that he found the 🗃.
My mother was my mother's sister which makes me my own uncle and my own nephew. So you see I'm never alone, I always have someone to talk to. "I'm My Own Grandpa"
I know a young woman who had a baby at a shockingly young age in the 1990s. The family moved to another state about a year or so after the baby was born because of social stigma. That’s when I lost touch with them. I knew the grandparents were going to legally adopt the baby, but when they moved they decided to keep the true parentage a secret. The truth came out when the child’s half-sibling reached out on social media. It was a mess for the family after, and the child (an adult by this time) refused to speak to the family for a while because no one was honest with them.
In my hometown, this practice is not rare but also not common. Many parents will "take" their grandchildren when their son or daughter get child at very young age. And mostly, the "child" know that their brother or sister is the real parent.
Would have liked this a lot if it showed the whole thing in one video. Not only have you broken it up, there are ZERO links to the next videos for me to find to see the rest. Terrible format.
My cousin did this with her kid. One of my aunts is very wealthy and my cousin knew she wouldn't get any $$ from her if she had a child out of wedlock because that aunt is a HUGE hypocrite (she had 2 kids out of wedlock 🙄). It's super sad because my cousin's mom took in her granddaughter, said she was her adopted child, and 7 years later she passed away. That little girl ended up with her "sister," aka bio-mom, who basically treated her like crap from the beginning. After the funeral, no one has been able to track down where either of them went. Fu¢k that cousin.
Jack Nicholson (yes the famous one) found out this exact same thing when he was interviewed at age 37 by a reporter and the reporter thought he already knew and asked him a question about it.
Such a sad story. But it is good to see he was kept in the same family. To think that the family 'name' and honour (and what the 'neighbours thought) held such a position in 'small minded' societies (irrelevant of the era!). This is ludicrously still happening today in certain cultures and religions....'family honour and beliefs'. When within these same 'cultures and religions there are people starving and dying in terrible situations....and yet it is 'this' that they 'choose' to put above all else, all to keep face. Today.... if this is an 'ideology, then these religions and cultures should be ashamed of themselves.
Big respect to his grandparents for supporting his mother as unmarried woman suffered in the olden days it was seen as a disgrace! Bless him x

To think that the family 'name' and honour (and what the 'neighbours thought) held such a position in 'small minded' societies (irrelevant of the era!). This is ludicrously still happening today in certain cultures and religions....'family honour and beliefs'. When within these same 'cultures and religions there are people starving and dying in terrible situations....and yet it is 'this' that they 'choose' to put above all else, all to keep face. Today.... if this is an 'ideology, then these religions and cultures should be ashamed of themselves.
Is there a follow up on this?
Poor guy.
There is a link in the description where you can watch all the episode's of this show 🙂
This scenario was even covered in the soap opera EastEnders, though it's reveal not as subtle.
