<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Christmasjoy, post: 277860, member: 164&quot;]She was strong though&nbsp; ..&nbsp; her first husband died of consumption (TB) when he was only 36yrs old leaving her with 5 small children, she was terrified of them all ending up in the workhouse so she rented out a bedroom to a boarder and the kids spent time on the beach hooking crab and lobster when the tide was out, also gleaning left-behind spuds from the fields. My dad joined the Navy at the age of 14yrs. and sent his pay home to her.&nbsp; She faired better when she met Uncle Mac, a Scotsman, who took her and the kids to his heart, I LOVED him. She had 2 more children making it 7 kids in all.&nbsp; I do admire her in SO many ways .. but she really wasn&#039;t very nice at all&nbsp; ..&nbsp; my Mother was terrified of her.&nbsp; Anyway, enough of this&nbsp; .. so sorry,&nbsp; ..&nbsp; Joy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
