Julie in my 2g grandma's case I suspect a marriage was security. Her father was wealthy Scot, married an englishwoman, rather than her Indian mother, and he returned to England. I don't know but I suspect he cut all ties.
She married an army man so in theory a good catch, except that he supposedly died. She then married my 2g grandfather and that was more successful, or at least long term.
