Margaret Fairhurst is also shown as Widow in 1891


Children born to a married woman are assumed to be the children of her husband, even if he has been dead for many years.


She may also be saying that she is a Widow because it looks better to the neighbours!



I should buy that birth certificate ...... it is the only way to find out what it says re the father. But don't be surprised if the children turn out to be illegitimate!
