Wonder if anyone out there can help me please, if they have encountered similar problem. |

It's a bit of a longshot but could her mother have married a chap with the same surname? If Price is a common name at the time in that area then it's a possibility? |

Thanks, Jill. That's good advice. |

Yes, that would seem most likely to me. For her to be described as married but there being no husband in evidence is a bit odd, don't you think? |

Maybe her husband did not die until after the 1891 - and the "wid" on 1891 was an error. Or maybe they'd split up or separated at the time so she was calling herself a widow. |

You mention an 'extra' thirteen year old child on the 1901 census. Have you managed to find her on the 1891 census too? |

I've got something a bit similar in my tree. |

Thanks, Sue, I hope that if I persevere an explanation will come to me my rellies. That's a good idea about keeping details of same name in the area, I think I'll do that too. You never know, in a few years, I may have a 'Eureka!' moment & it will all fall into place |
