In 1901, I would have (maybe) been working as a maid in a hotel or private house.  I'm Irish, so my husband would have been Irish also, and whether working or not, I'd be mother to about 15 children, 9 of whom "passed" at birth, and I'd look about 20 years older than I was.

obvious.  Trouble is, just because things are obvious 
doesn't mean they're true."
