If I am starting to develop allergies or some kind of hayfever. I think I'm reaching to pollen at sudden.
I've heard that it's possible to develop allergies when working with flowers over time, I had a colleague once who did that. She had to quit, cause in the end she was sneezing almoat by just watching lilies.

How in the world can it be that everytime-EVERY %#@?& TIME I am so unfortunate to be sick, I end up worrying for my colleagues at work rather than myself?

Appreciate your response here. I was specifically referring to the history of Italy and the fact that this find was so incredibly odd to see. I've studied Italian records from the late 1500s to the present extensively and have examined thousands of marriage documents. This was the only time I've ever found a record where a younger man married a woman so many years his senior. The woman in question had plenty of adult children to help her take care of the farm, and I still stand by my theory that something nefarious was going on. Shocked

I've looked at thousands of marriage records from this period and this is the first one I've seen like this. If that wasn't strange enough, when his wife died about 13 years later he re-married just two months afterwards. And this time, to a woman that was 14 years younger than him.

While I have no proof...I have a feeling that there was some money involved somewhere. Then again they were all listed as peasants who were generally extremely poor so who really knows. But I can't help but wonder if something nefarious happened.

While a 30 year age-gap might have been out of the ordinary, age-gaps - both ways - weren't actually that unusual.

Basically, if a woman was widowed, she'd want to remarry quickly, to have someone to take care of her. And it was more practical to marry a younger guy, who could actually do some work on the farm.
Then, when the woman died, the widower would again want to remarry, and again he'd want to marry someone younger.
Then he'd died, and his widow would marry someone younger...
Well, you get the picture.

Also, at least in Denmark - and probably other places as well - it was customary that when a priest died, and left a widow, part of the contract for the new priest would be to marry the widow.
