Answer** Definitive **
Name: Barry, Barnhurst
Qualification: My wife is a teacher’s assistant and has a booklet of the rules and regulations of teachers from the 1930s.
Answer: Traditionally – and this happened up until the second world war – female teachers were not allowed to marry. If they got married, they had to leave the profession. So all teachers were Miss.
