Perhaps the Winifred Gregg on the 1891 census was a different person and your Winifred had died? Her husband had remarried after her death?

Hi Sorry, if I'm barking up the wrong tree here butyour thread isn't very clear to read. Have you found Winifred on the 1891 census? If not perhaps she dies before then so her husband remarried? Sam

Hi, The transcription of the 1881 isn't very good so they could have been mistranscribed. You are right divorce was expensive and there were very few per year. Gwynne

I did not think divorce was an option for the working classes in victorian times
