My G'g'dad re-married in 1917 at 57yrs old to a 30yrs old spinster, they had 3 children, he had 7 by his first wife and died in 1933 aged 73. She died in 1963 aged 76 and always spoke of him as being a Gentleman. He started working life as Ag. Lab.

When I was in my 20s I had a friend of similar age who married a nearly 60 year old divorcee with children the same age as she was, totally allowed himself to go to seed so not at all "attractive" one would have thought.

We all wondered "why" at the time - so no hope for descendents in a hundred or two hundred years time when researching their family history!

As has been said - must be love

As has also been said - we can find out what happened, but as to why we can only guess!
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex
