Another Irishman [half- ]

As incredible as it may seem to me, some authorities actually wanted to know if I had lied to my husband about past relationships when we got married!? The answer was, no! I believe my now late, ex-husband's police friends didn't have concerns [but some people did]. *** Even though he had problems with alcohol and whatnot, my husband always had a good heart--he was generous and helpful; and he had supported the gay rights project--possibly from many years before we got married [although he didn't tell me about it directly]!? His parents had also been involved with police, either through employment or by fostering children through the Children's Aid Society. Maybe some people wanted to know if I'd be a credible supporter of the gay rights project--or was I dishonest person? And I guess some concerns have been answered! *** Have written earlier that my husband's birth mother's family was from Ireland. [The families of my husband's adoptive parents were from Great Britain--England and Wales.]
