amy’s blog on the mad house (tree)

“nan and grandad” have been together since 1957, everyone believes that they are married - they are not!

*****skeleton 5 - lies about a marriage*****

the person listed on my mums birth cert as father is correct.  i have pictures of them both and they are very alike.

this gentleman, my grandfather, was in the army and was married with 2 children who were born in the 1930’s.  he had an affair adn my mum was the result.  he also had a relationship with “my mums mum” (half sister).

*****skeleton 4 - lets have relationships with mother and daughter whilst i am married to another lady*****

following on from skeleton 2.

my mums real mum was supposedly married.  everyone thought that she was married, but there is no marriage record listed.  half of her children are under her married name and the other half are under her “husbands” name. 

this lady had ”an affair” so to speak, and as the result ended up pregnant with my mum.  the story goes tha she went away to see friends for 2 months and took her eldest daughter with her.  when they returned the eldest daughter had a 2 year old son (hers) and a new born baby (my mum, not hers but her half sister).

*****skeleton 3 - non marriage and affairs*****

following on from skeleton 1.

the lady listed on my mums birth certificate as her mother ISN’T.  she was my mums half sister, who took mum to be registered as hers. 

my mum was the result of an affair (so to speak).  my mums real mother WASN’T married as everyone was lead to believe.  but she had an affair and my mum was the result.  her eldest daughter (my mum’s “mum” as we know her) took my mum on to save any problems.  she had a son 2 years older than my mum, they moved area and started life as a family.  who is going to question a 20year old married lay with 2 children under the age of 2 in the 1940’s?

*****skeleton 2 - mum is not mum*****

my mum was always told that she was either the first child in the new kings lynn hospital or the last in the old kings lynn hospital.  kings lynn didnt have a maternity hospital until the 1950’s.  mum was born in 1949.  also on her birth cert is an address of a house. 

however, the person listed as her mother ISN’T.

*****skeleton 1 - not being born where told*****
