How many Bastards do you have in your tree

[Shesmiff]

Have just discovered that hubby's GGreat Aunt had 6 or 7 illegitimate children...Hmmm.

I have now heard from another researcher that in fact Susannah was a "Lady of the Night"

Yikes....Hubby's mother would be rolling in her grave....so..

Don't say anything...OK?

Had to laugh, the secrets that come out, my great aunt told me my great grandmother's eternal boast was that it never took less than 2 coppers to get her into a cell, even in her 70's

We have far too many to mention!  Well I did mention some and got into a lot of trouble!  My Nan's brother was married to someone, then went off with another and had six children with her - but they never married.  I though this was interesting but unfortunately one of his daughters in law didn't and sent me a rather nasty letter.

AND we are still not allowed to mention to my 92 year old (other) Grandmother that everyone in the family knows that she was at least four months pregnant when she married - AND she wouldn't speak to me for 5 years because I lived in sin before marrying my first husband.  Double standards or what

Sue B,

 

It's a question of do what I say, not what I do, isn't it??

That is not an unfamiliar story.  A friend of mine told me something very similar the other day!!!

As Marie says do what I say, not what I do!
