Sorry. But can’t find any reference to that. Show proof.

Her father was William Godwin and her husband was Percy Shelley; that should help you find them. But I don't rly care what you think (w/ respect), this is for my followers
-
I know who those people are and looked at both. The “wandering jew” Is a myth that started around the 13th century and if any of The three had anything to say about it it must be of Little note because I have seen no reference in relation to those people.

Did you try google? I feel bad for you, you seem to feel like I'm criticizing you; really it's just an interesting historical point
-
Yep, why and nope.
-
I googled: William Godwin "Wandering Jew" first result, third para, and it even cites Shelley too. You're welcome
-
And if you actually read any of those results, none provides any proof or even the slightest indication that any of the three, Godwin, Shelley or Mary, either condemed nor promoted Judaism. You’re Welcome.
