Thank you for the opportunity to answer this.
I apologise without qualification for the remark made above, which was flippant, and made without any sensitivity for those whose ancestor had to marry again quickly, particularly for their or their children's needs.
Since this posting I have discovered more of my own family's history, and now know that my maternal Grandfather by birth died in 1951, and my Grandmother then had to take on up to three jobs at one time to support my mother and uncle.
Quite quickly she married a man who was in a similar position , though with just one child of his own. Being a man, he was able to command a higher rate of pay for stronger manual work. My Grandmother still had to work two jobs though as they could never afford any more than accommodation through the corporation.
So in the light of that, my eyes and attitudes have been changed, and I now approach any such discoveries with an open mind unfettered by moral judgement and with an open mind.
But I am ashamed of myself for that remark.
