Mr Goodey, you live up to your fine surname sir!, I also believe this!, 99% of these women I think were who they say they were!! especially in rural areas. Some myths come down through history and destroy families reputations and cast shame and upset on innocent members of families, I studied the first world war for a number of years and I found one or two distressed people on forums who had myths and misconceptions handed down over the years. I think most of our ancestors did the best they could in extraordinary circumstances, God bless and rest them, which will thank heavens will never experience!.
Best wishes to all your ancestors and you, the granddaughter of the Blacksmith
