OK, first cars -- what kind of car would be common around 1922? Would it have gears, would it need to be cranked up? easy to drive? Could you post links to pix, please?
Second is a bit more complicated.
A white married couple, not having sex, the woman (A) wants a child. The husband agrees that she can sleep with another man in order to have a child (OK, I know this is daring stuff for back then but this was a daring woman who did not follow the rules at all). He is willing to pass the child off as his and be the father.
Her sister (B) is married to a black man and she (A) has a one night stand with him, while also having an affair with a white man for a child. She gets pregnant and believes it's from the white man because-- well because. Only one night etc. But the baby is black, and a girl (A wanted a son). So she gives the child to her sister, who always wanted a girl, having had only boys.
After two years she wants the girl back.
In my desired scenario, A's husband is the legal father and nothing can be done, not by the biological father B, not even though everyone can see the child is black. I want B and husband to be unable to get the child back legally.
This scenario would work in Germany as the mother's husband is ALWAYS the legal father, even if the biological father can prove paternity (back then there was no DNA testing but you could see that the child was black and it was common knowledge that they had sex). This is to safeguard the child's rights. The only person who can contest the legal paternity is the legal father. Not even the mother can contest it, not even if she swears she has not had sex with the legal father.
So that's Germany. I want this scenario for a British colony around 1922. Would it work?
In my scenario A doesn't have to do anything, as she and her husband are the legal parents. They never gave the child up for adoption. They claim it was a foster situation.
