I just find it all so fascinating! I have found 'old money' in my family in other lines, and I agree the movement up and down the classes is perpetual. Other ancestors were paupers industrialisation changed their lives.Joy Margettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864995110516740860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-20559861385985796952021-09-23T10:29:24.664+01:002021-09-23T10:29:24.664+01:00Further comment now I've had a moment to read ...Further comment now I've had a moment to read your piece: on the descent of families. In the sense of 'from prince to pauper', this certainly happened. In my mother's maternal line. Where I can first identify them, the Bryants are well off. But that's not the whole story. You'll notice this if you watch the Family History programme Who do you think you are? Or 'The House through Time' series. Families move up and down the 'class system' and the good news (I suppose it is good?) is they continue to move.

Facts were suppressed and myths created weren't they!Inmy family, my mother told me near the end of her life that my great-grandmother (her maternal grandmother) was born in Australia! From this is traced the family (and have found an Australian cousin & family there). More later - have a cinical yoga class right now - but again, a very different picture emerged to what I'd assumed... Lovely to write the fiction you do - great seams to be mined in history...Clare Weiner (Mari Howard)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03509159907199642490noreply@blogger.com
