Sally Phillips unravels a mystery family adoption

In this debut episode, much-loved British comedian Sally Phillips sits down with Alex Jones to unpack the answers to the questions she has about her family story, especially the life of her maternal grandmother, May Wheeldon. “We found out at her funeral that she was adopted, and we didn’t know that,” Sally says. Was this really a traumatic part of May’s life that no one had known anything about, or was it just speculation and assumption? Sally explores these unanswered questions with Alex and Laura House, Ancestry’s senior genetic genealogist and family research expert.To see the video of Sally’s grandmother May Wheeldon watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lqsZRhKp-CQ?si=yrdWaoWVnXr9x2SmSubscribe here for your weekly dose of Questions & Ancestors with Alex Jones and read more at https://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/ancestry-podcast/Questions & Ancestors with Alex Jones is brought to you by Ancestry and produced by Telegraph Media Group.CREDITS Host: Alex JonesSenior Genetic Genealogist at Ancestry: Laura House, MSc. Telegraph Media GroupExecutive producers: Tom Gadd, Andrea Paterson, Vanessa Woodgate, Alex KellyCreative director: Jonathan Clayton-JonesVideo producer: Ed EmsleyBiscuit JimExecutive producers: Kellie Redmond, Geoff Jein#telegraph #sallyphillips #ancestryuk #ancestrydna #familyhistory #familyhistoryresearch #dna #partnerships #podcast #alexjones #campaign #ad #celebrityinterviews #celebrityinterview  Hosted on Acast.
