The greater shame?

[Aulus]

My 2 x grandfather was a widow aged 54 years when a girl called Martha moved into his home to be a servant! They had 7 children together (one my g grandfather) and did not marry until Martha was pregnant with their 7th child. My 2 x g grandfather was a farmer employing men and also a constable of the parish a pillar of the community, it did not seem to worry him that he had 6 illegitimate children ,they were all named in his will.  By the way he was 34 years older than Martha.

Maybe there's hope for me yet!
