My Amazing Mother
Hinzugefügt von Joan Roy Tiffany
Lilly Arabel Oickle Roy was an amazing person. She was the oldest of fourteen children and born in Bridgewater, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. Because there were no child labour laws, my mother dropped out of school when she was very young-kindergarten education. We was hired out as a housekeeper at the early age of 8 and had stories of ironing with an old stove heated iron, standing on her legs for many hours. She worked 6 days a week for 8-10 hours a day and received 50 cents pay a week. Very harsh labour for a child. She said that there was no childhood playing memories-just work, She married my father William Albert Roy on her 16th birthday in Bridgewater and moved to Liverpool. She and Dad lived with Dad's grandparents for the first years of their marriage-during the depression of 1929 and a few years after. Someone gave them an old chicken coop and they cleaned it out, did some repairs and lived there. These were very difficult years and she said they would awake in the mornings with snow on their feet from the cracks in the roof and walls. They had old coats to cover themselves. Her first child was born on March 29, 1936-Albert Eugene Roy. There would be 3 more boys and 2 girls to follow. Mum also had there babies that did not make it-but I do not know whether they were stillborn or miscarriages. They were never discussed and the children learned about them after her death as they were buried on the property where the chicken coop which later was added to and became our family home on Common Street in Liverpool, Nova Scotia.
Life was not easy as she had 4 children down with scarlet fever during WWII and they were all quanantined. Mum told us that there were three weeks that no one could come in or leave and she was alone with the children. She had many struggles but was a wonderful Mother who worked hard to be there, love and nurture us. She did NOT complain even though life was rough. She was a caring sibling as well. I dearly loved her/
