My ex was so disgusted when we explored the town where grand tales of maternal origins had been set as the trip put it all in a much more modest perspective. Context is often so important and we cannot easily recapture the past, which is, after all, another country, and so, almost totally alien to our eyes brought up in different circumstances.

I have been doing family research over the years and have discovered that a lot of family stories that have been passed down are exaggerations or simply tall tales. I guess its a side effect of trying to keep up with the Joneses.

People, my ancestors anyway, were very proud back then. They were concerned about what the neighbours thought.

Things get very distorted. During the war a shout went out , bring reinforcement we are going to advance . By the time it went down the line it went . Bring three and four pence we’re going to a dance 💃

Gentleman was actually a thing back in the day. It simply meant a man of personal means who did not work for a living. Of course it had other connotations too. Think of Mr. Bennett in Pride and Prejudice. Not necessarily wealthy but a man of means and wealthy by most standards.

I wonder if the parents were still at the station hotel when he was 21

[@ScarlettO323]

Does that say "spinster" next to 22 yr old Margaret on the certificate???

[@TD-ou3el]

Yea, most of them said that, it just meant unmarried woman

I got married in Hong Kong and that's what my wedding certificate says too:/ Roots in British law, I guess.

@@ScarlettO323 30, but I don't think it makes a difference, it just means I hadn't been married before. This was only a few years ago.

Ok how can I contact this helpful insight program and ask them kindly to bless my life to receive help like what is shown in these programs, where I can travel and receive the assistance to obtain documentation with a face to face set down with much needed help to explain my family tree and so many other questionable family secrets where I have questions of safe gaurdenship and I only seek for knowledge and to educate my children and my grandchildren so they might understand the place here on earth has chosen them for.. I want to break the chains of wrongs in a personal healthy guided journey and not one that exposes privacy to whom seeks this, and mostly I don't want to shame or be shamed over choice. My health, family wellness and safeguarding to living is important. My choices circle back to misleading secrets in my family, I do not wish to expose anyone only seek the truth and the safeguarding to what needs to take place from here. I have educated myself on the legal parts, and the rights and people but what I don't understand if I have decoded the pieces of a family secret where it's not to be spoken of then who can I seek for understanding the real truth.. the people in the photos to whom shows the mirror images of a principle title and that of a media title. I feel like it's all a Truman show. I mean no disrespect, I would be blessed to know my Dads family and my Moms family hidden secrets where my dads side shares with the acting roles. My family could smile again, and ripe off the bandaids to heal a pain that was planted, watered and grew into a strong rooted family!
