Hi Kay. Don't you think sometimes the staightlaced ones are so because of something they're kind of rebelling against? My Mam's Grandma was a right harridan and very straight laced. I found out her hubby had been in prison a few times before they married. When I told my Mam she was delighted as she didn't like her grandma. lol

I just found that my 3 x great grandfather died after falling into a vat of boiling water. He was working in a mill as a dyer. Found a report in one of the papers but I think there would be a bigger report in a more local paper.
