Don't forget the legal age for a girl to marry, with parental permission, was still 12 then. A 14 year old could well have been working too. She didn't have to be having an affair with anyone. She might have been raped. If that was the case, then her mother may well have taken on her child as her own. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
