In the 1881 census Mary Roberts is listed as 'Wife....wife of general labourer........ But I cannot find John Roberts her husband. As Mary is called 'wife', I assume he is not dead, just away somewhere. Any suggestions as to how I could find him??? Kathlyn

He might have been at work. One of my rellies was recorded on the census at the hospital where he worked while the rest of the family was recorded at home. J

I found one of mine in prison. Another one said she was married but was just pregnant at the time. Kind regards Amanda
