Why was Margaret Jane Meehan giving "court testimony" in 1919? What is the source for her court appearance?
The 1919 court case was about child neglect and other issues- reading through the details again it actually seems to have been Robert that gave the date rather than Margaret. "... Robert Black, husband of Margaret Blake, stated that he was married to defendant in October 1910, and she had two illegitimate children at that time. He was not the father of those children. …"
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
