	If a female died 4 years after her husband, would it state anywhere that she was 'Widow of ******? It is a very common name so I am trying to think of something I can put as a checking point. Thanks Sam x

	Thanks ladies, I think I'll go ahead and order it and ask them to check that she was the widow of Richard Roberts. Sam x
