Irish Travellers marry quite early, and probably especially more so during 1950s.

Damn what's the Family name? Because few of them look like some of my cousins. Could be related to these people

[–] agingelderly@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is the result of it being the only method. Use protection, kids
