The Grandaughter of my Jonas Anderson was a 'nurse SMS' in the 1881 census...so a good sort & someone to be proud of!... There were never any rumours of a criminal in the family...but there was a rumour of a Danish ancestor & that did turn out to be true of course...but a generation further back than my Dad had thought...so they had thought the Danish cane from my Great Great Grandmother's father...but obviously it was her Grandfather instead..... & I guess if there were someone imprisoned in family, I would imagine they would be ashamed of it & keep quiet....tho when there was a ' love child in the family (in fact the nurses husband ' was a 'love child' & the father still a mystery)...well that story DID pass down....even though they were probably a bit embarrassed about that!.... in fact 'the love child' made up a father's name on his marriage certificate I discovered after research, to save embarrassment probably the records office reckoned!...
