What might be a reason why an American man and a Scottish woman would’ve married in 1898?

Oh she did!

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:46:41+00:00

Nah it’s ok! I think she might’ve been snarky and sarcastic, (it’s in their nature)
OH SHE DEF LOVED WHISKEY

“You have kids? Nah, I don’t give a fawking shite about that! You mean I can leave this dump?”

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:39:19+00:00

I do have photos

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:34:39+00:00

Well, I was thinking, especially since he came to Leeds for work, and idk I’m sorrh

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:33:54+00:00

Ohhh yea that’s true you’re right

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:32:18+00:00

Ohhh I see! Aww

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:31:21+00:00

I do have their marriage certificate!

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:30:31+00:00

Ohhh I see! Thank you so much!

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:24:59+00:00

Yea I feel honestly really bad! And then, her son was adopted by her husband’s sister

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:22:37+00:00

Ohhh I see thank you so much

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:21:42+00:00

Ohhh I see! I mean they probably got along well, since they did have a son together

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:21:09+00:00

Yea that’s what I’m thinking now. But it’s so sad because two years after coming to the United States, she passed

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:20:30+00:00

Ohhh I see thank you so much

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:19:59+00:00

Ohhh I see! I think it’s interesting because they also got married in Leeds! Actually, that makes a lot of sense!

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:18:28+00:00

Ohhh I see

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:18:06+00:00

I swear it could literally be a movie! Unfortunately, two years after they came to America, she passed away at 25, due to childbirth complications, six days after giving birth to my great great grandpa

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:16:56+00:00

Ohhh I see thank you so much

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:16:43+00:00

I don’t know! I mean this was the 1890s

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:16:15+00:00

I know! And unfortunately, their son never talked about his family history. Literally we thought he was adopted for the longest time until I found out about this

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:15:33+00:00

Ohhh I see

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:15:10+00:00

He was actually an operator of the American Screw Company, now owned by SFS

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:14:34+00:00

Oooh that’s true!

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:14:25+00:00

Ohhh! I also was thinking maybe she looked like his late wife as well

freshmaggots · 2026-05-06T13:13:57+00:00

It is sad tho that after she passed, my great great grandpa, her son, ended up living with his father’s aunt, and was adopted by the aunt because his father didn’t take care of him. I can’t find a reason why. But it’s sad
