he definately wasn't raised in England - he was American and she came over with her family (to Philadelphia) at some point within the next few years they've obviously met up and married but when she was expecting 1st child they returned to England so she could "lay in" at her parents house.

I do not understand a lot of the other details and am completely baffled by this family  ???
