Hey hey, it's Friday, and what does your day need, but a friendly story telling session with a cup of tea and a few laughs! It's that time again, two new historical biographies of people you never learned about in history class, celebrated right here in podcast land!This week Andrea follows a woman who married once for her parents, once for the money, once for a title and was determined that the fourth time could only be for love. Sadly, the husband was an absolute garbage person, thank goodness it all had a happy ending and there is even a ghost story just for good measure!Then Annie is delving, literally, into the stories of a forgotten class of people in Old London Town. Mudlarks might be collectors and antique hunters now, but back in the day they were a hard working people, the poorest of the poor. One woman, so unsung we aren't even sure of her name, became a symbol for the working classes of London and inspired charity and regulations in equal measure.This episode Andrea used these sources:https://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/yourplaceandmine/fermanagh/lady_cathcart.shtmlhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/20513061https://www.shortstories101.com/story/the-amazing-life-of-lady-cathcart/This episode Annie used these sources:https://www.wickedwilliam.com/an-account-of-peggy-jones-the-london-mudlark/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04/04/treasure-hunting-in-the-thames/Where you can find us: https://www.instagram.com/mostlyunsung/ https://www.facebook.com/share/16J4vuMy1h/ https://bsky.app/profile/mostlyunsung.bsky.social [email protected] See you next Friday!
