I think he just saw no future with his first wife and he was the type of person who could just walk away and not look back. It is despicable behaviour.

He could have saved for a divorce and paid for it the legitimate way then kept in touch with the girls through visiting, or even letters, sending money through the post. He was a coward and extremely cruel.

He should have divorced but sometimes you can't divorce if other partner doesn't sign papers etc. So hard to know what would have happened.

Very few working class people divorced in the 1930's and 40's. It was both costly and complicated. My own grandfather (coincidently also from Liverpool) simply had his wife committed to an asylum and though he didn't remarry, he had a string of live-in girlfriends. When I did some research it turned out that this wasn't as uncommon as I thought it was.

My Grandfather on my Daddy's side did the same thing. He left his wife and 6 children during the middle of the depression and started another family. I've been on ancestry, and I can't find any divorce records or remarriage. Yet the new woman carried his name, and they had a son who was a Jr.

Kim’s dad reminds me of my father who is also British. What he said was law despite the fact he was a lazy momma’s boy. He and my mom had 10 kids and as a younger child I never remember him working. My mother supported us all waitressing. Needless to say I don’t have the fondest thoughts of him but a great deal of respect for my mother.

Based on my experience of family research startng looking for children before the date of marriage is a good idea. Did they check the 1939 Register which is the most complete civilian census taken in the UK between 1921 and 1951 (most of the 1931 census was destroyed during WWII and there was no census in 1941) and was used to issue identity and ration cards.

I wonder if he knocked up this young girl and chose the younger new girl. Maybe that’s why he wanted his older daughter to come with him when he left. To be a babysitter/ slave to the new wife. They say SHE wasn’t aware of the girls. But I think she knew.

Going by the age of their oldest child it was a very real possibility she was pregnant when they married

@pixiejemm Жыл бұрын

It would make sense how quickly he left his wife for Bella and remarried. If his wife had found out he had got another women pregnant that would mean he would have had 4 children to provide for which he didn't want to do. Also the fact that his wife has 3 girls, he probably hoped Bella had a boy so that's why he was so quick to marry again.

I'm pretty sure she didnt think of her grandfather as anything but an irresponsible despicable man who left Kim's mother, very poor and without a father figure. Women might like a 'bad boy' for about five minutes they are young, but when you get older you realise what pathetic losers they are, like her grandfather was.

Maybe so but her mum and aunts wanted to know and understand what had happened to their dad and why he left. They never had closure before now. She's getting angry and reacting because her grandfather left his first family in such dire poverty that they had to sell the furniture whilst he started a new family and seemed to be doing pretty well for himself but didn't seem to care for his daughters that he left behind.
