Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 240 Send Message	Hello Kath, I did find the 'widow'entry,but am not sure if they were separated or he was working away from home when it said previously 'separated from husband'I have found Elizabeth on most census's but not James and feel I have reached the end of the line with this railway labourer excuse the pun!unless I find where he was born. Many thanks for your info. Regards,Brenda

	Is Elizabeth aged 52 on the 1871 census living 15 Callow? Lane. If so, I think her marital state is Widow. If you check the other entries the enumerator seems to write Mar, for married and W which looks a bit like an M, for widowed. Kath. x

I know its a long shot but can anyone out there work miracles!
