By using genealogy records such as births, marriages, deaths, and more, we discovered that Phoebe’s maternal grandfather led a life worthy of the movies. An actor like his granddaughter, Cyprian Chando Richard Waller-Bridge was born in East Grinstead in 1918. He’s listed in the 1939 Registeras an actor with his father Horace, mother Elsie, and sist...
Lina’s story alone is one worthy of the history books, or perhaps its own thriller movie. According to one newspaper article, she was arrested by the Italians during the Second World War, suspected of being a spy for the British. She was interrogated and later released due to a lack of evidence. But it turns out she may have been more active as a s...

While we haven’t yet found a connection, the name Bridgeman is c...
Perhaps the most scandalous discovery we made is that of Phoebe’s 6x great-grandfather. Sir Egerton Leigh was the sometime Attorney General of South Carolina, a British loyalist, colonial jurist, and apparently an adulterer. He fled South Carolina in 1774 following an infidelity scandal. His wife was Martha Bremar, and their son Sir Egerton Leigh, ...

Throughout the series, the recent death of the main character’s mother looms large, as her wanton daughter locks horns with her passive-aggressive stepmother, played by Olivia Colman. Many viewers, and some critics, believe the intimate story was autobiographical, a lurid peepshow.
No Time To Die and Fleabag writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge has her own daredevil characters in her family tree. Our genealogy records reveal a Second World War spy, an actor, a scandalous colonial jurist, and even a priest or two.
