I have been searching a Winifred Gregg who was married to a James Cracknell in 1856 and had a son James Edward Cracknell in 1856 (yet another illigitimate conception for my family). On the 1881 census there is a Winifred Gregg who is a Widow but would she have reverted to her maiden name if her husband had died, any comment would be gratefully received. Linda P
