Does anyone know whether it can be assumed that a married woman who is described in the census as 'Head of household', and whose husband is known to have been still living, was living apart from him? My ancestor Janet Dick was described as such in the 1911 census, living in John Street, Newcastle, with sons John William and George. Her husband John William Dick and their daughter Beatrice are listed as son and grand-daughter of John Goldsmith (who was in fact John William's step-father), in Jefferson Street, Newcastle. They could, of course, been visiting – but could it be that he'd gone home to mummy? Similarly, Hannah Johnson is described as Head in the 1881 census for Westgate, and her husband Adam (who died in 1905) is nowhere to be found. In both cases there is circumstantial evidence that there may have been a separation. ______________________________________________________ GRATIS für alle WEB.DE-Nutzer: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
