Cheryl Tweedy

Cheryl knows little about her heritage, beyond her sense of herself as a true Geordie. Tracing her roots in the North East, on her dad's side she discovers a sea-faring ancestor and a family tragedy. On her mum's side, she recovers the story of her long-forgotten great grandfather:a quintessential Tommy in the First World War, who fought in one of the most famous battles on the Western Front.
