Just awful.

I missed your posts as I was typing. So, as would be likely, Maggie was only looking after her own children by 1911. Anna would be independent by then. Yes, that boarder could be her. She was probably better away from her father!

I saw that place name in one af the articles. The implication was that Martin went there to get drunk.
