This order protected a woman's earnings. In some cases I also found more personal information in Court of Petty Sessions deposition books, etc.Judy Websterhttp://www.judywebster.com.au/index.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266495682245162271.post-48259514154006801122011-08-25T19:43:58.956-05:002011-08-25T19:43:58.956-05:00We have a similar situation in our family.

She was living about 20 miles away, with their sixth child together. They *both* were enumerated as widowed. He died three years later in 1903 and she died in 1923.Tracy Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224361714186446549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266495682245162271.post-47023390797363815442011-08-25T12:21:45.005-05:002011-08-25T12:21:45.005-05:00I'm somewhat unsettled by my paternal grandpar...I'm somewhat unsettled by my paternal grandparents listed at two separate addresses on the 1930 Census...she living with my father at her parents' house, he living with his mother and a daughter from a previous marriage. The 1940 Census won't help...grandpa died in 1938. I haven't found any city directories from that era yet.Charlotte Mareknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266495682245162271.post-45050030003022028212011-08-25T07:19:56.724-05:002011-08-25T07:19:56.724-05:00Thank you for posting - I have such a set!

She lived with her daughters in town, he lived with their son on a farm the next town over...and the census shows her as married, him being divorced. (Or maybe vice versa) Either way, I was always a little unsettled by this.Party of 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/18244944775477282824noreply@blogger.com
