Paisley Omslagdoek en Robin Gibb

Deze aflevering van WDYTYA brengt ons weer een heel stukje verder in onze Noordwijkse afkomst. De omslagdoek, ooit van een verre verwant gekregen, die ook niet meer precies wist wie de gulle gever ooit was geweest, is een originele geweven in het tradionele Paisley dessin, en zonder de geschiedenis over de voorouders van Robin Gibb zou uw afkomst het nooit geweten hebben.
Bee Gees star Robin Gibb discovers a tale of poverty and grit as he finds out how his paternal great grandfather overcame the odds to become a decorated soldier. The trail leads back to Paisley, the famous centre of Scottish weaving, as Robin attempts to solve the mystery of a family breakdown.
On his mother's side, Robin wants to find out more about his great grandmother, Cecilia Lynch, who was a midwife. As Robin follows the document trail, he is shocked to discover that his great grandmother was hauled before the Midwives Penal Board in a tragic case involving one of the babies she had delivered. What happened - and was Cecilia at fault?
