The Lighter Side / Re: Marrying your dead wife’s sister
« on: Tuesday 26 March 24 10:17 GMT (UK) »
My Grandmother's cousin married, as her 3rd husband, their Aunt's widower
She therefore became step-mother to her two cousins
She had divorced her first husband for cruelty ( a rare thing in the early 1900's) -- he later went on to murder the supposed lover of his second wife and was sentenced to hang, but the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.
She and my Grandmother were close, and my Grandmother inherited several pieces of her gold jewellery which I now have.
One of the pieces has initials on -- but I cannot find anyone with those initials in any of the families she was connected to, so where it has come from is a mystery!
