I believe people from that era tended to sweep things under the carpet and pretend everything is hunky-dory,

I think there was a lot of worry about reputation back then as well. Also just getting on with things due to war etc .. just buckle up and move on. When I was in the UK I researched my family tree which kept me occupied in lockdown. Don't think ive got time to write about it and it's so convoluted with so many people.
