Though not noblemen, it's clear that Sam Neill and Holly Hunter are at least upper middle-class people. In the mid 19th century a woman with a bastard child would not have been able to hold her good status, she would have been considered a whore and not suitable for a man such as Neill to marry. [The wilds of New Zealand is not exactly the same as the high society scene of London, which is why her father was able to find someone there who would marry her (Keitel). So it's not too surprising that there is a second person there willing to marry her.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
