Love, Work and Wartime Secrets (with Lucy Worsley) | Wartime Women (Part 2)

Lucy Worsley returns to discover her grandmother's dramatic Second World War secrets... By 1939, Edna Bourne is a young working woman in a Britain preparing for war once again. Her days in a Birmingham boot shop unfold against air‑raid drills, rationing, and uncertainty. But behind the everyday routines lie private complexities: a whirlwind marriage, a pregnancy under the pressures of wartime morality, and a truth hidden in the marriage register that carries legal and emotional weight. Join host and genealogist Jen Baldwin and her guest, historian Lucy Worsley, as they bring the records to life, revealing how women navigated respectability, secrecy and survival in a world where war upended everything. Host and Researcher: Jen BaldwinGuest: Lucy WorsleyEditor: CM87EditsScript Editors: Niall Cullen, Daisy Goddard, Madeleine Gilbert, and Ellie AytonProducers: Madeleine Gilbert and Ellie AytonDesigner: Michael McCoshExecutive Producers: Helen Kaye and Steve James Hosted on Acast.
