Yes a young girl, pregant 'out of wedlock' ,to a young lad who was a carpenter, nowhere to live, no money and no proper form of transport just a donkey, in a time when there was political upheaval and census taking to prove where you came from and were accountable under the tax laws and to some extent a bit of the old ethnic cleansing and 1984 Big Brother going on. Hey how comforting to know that noughts changed then over the years.
