Hi everyone, a thought has just crossed my mind. If, for example, a wife had divorced her husband in 1859, and never remarried, what would she have been recorded as on the 1861 census? Widow? I've not come across "divorced" on a census as yet. Regards to all, Jon -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
