I think it's W for widow. Actually, it can't possibly be anything else. It's neither Mar nor Unm. Margaret |

Thanks Scarlet & Keith. I'm quite excited by this find as I have a direct line to both Fulchers and Rayners so now I must find the connection. Jo |

I suspect he has started to write something then not finished, but I suspect it is Widow, same on previous page. |

It almost looks as though its scribbled out ( not by the line though) Its certainly not 'Mar' or 'Un' but i cant make it a W either |

Would some kind soul please take a look at an 1861 census in Terrington St Clement, Norfolk. It's RG9/1051 with Mary Rayner at schedule No. 272. she's clearly down as Head age 31, Washerwoman but what I really want to know is what mark is under Condition. Could it be an abbreviation for widow? Unfortunately, a fat, black line has been marked right through the middle. Thanks. Jo |
