Sean Storrie, her then fiancé, said: “No lady needs more than one dress and one pair of shoes” years later.
Therefore, at the age of 18, Janey married and wore a 58 nylon dress and plastic shoes. The Storries, her new in-laws, had mixed feelings about the relationship.
This huge Catholic family possessed considerable influence in Glasgow’s criminal underworld.
They spat on Protestant Janey on their wedding day as a way of welcoming her.
Janey frequently fled the marriage, almost always barefoot, as it was predictably turbulent and lurched from crisis to crisis.
This is why it is suspected that Janey Godley, a talented comedian, and playwright who is now 44, would have grown fixated on shoes.
But nothing so unusual is asserted by her solid beige cork wedges.
What happened to the Storrie family?
The loss of Sean’s father, Old George, led Godley, her husband Sean, and their little daughter, Ashley, to leave their tavern.
