Comedian Griff Rhys Jones journeys into his family’s roots and uncovers amazing secrets and links to the past, in the third episode of Who Do You Think You Are?

As a child, Griff’s mother, Gwynneth, was told that her maternal grandparents had both died in a train crash in the mid-1890s. Her own mother, Louisa, was a baby at the time and, after their deaths, she was adopted by distant cousins. Gwynneth was in her twenties when she finally discovered that the couple she knew as grandma and grandpa were not her real grandparents at all. It was not until many years later that she discovered her real grandparents were, in fact, Daniel and Sarah Price. They had four children: William, who moved to the USA, Jane, Thomas and Griff’s grandmother, Louisa.
