Hello there!
8. I play a character (Dionisia Fisk) who was WC most of her life and then married into the MC. Depending on how a woman rose to the middle class I imagine the road would be different. WC women who married into the MC would be expected to act as a MC wife regardless of their background—although I imagine the road bumps would be on matters of etiquette and society rather than practical matters that WC women would have experience with like knitting and sewing. A woman whose male guardian rose to the MC would likely struggle socially but also get a governess to help. There was also a huge variety in what WC and MC looked like—some WC were dirt poor and others lived decent lives but wouldn't be able to keep their comfort if they lost their jobs. Some MC looked closer to UC but were too "new money" to be lumped in with them, while some MC were shop owners who relied on their businesses to keep their family afloat. It all depends on the individual circumstances.
