Hi Janet Do you know where the lady married? You might be able to look at the marriage registers for that church at a local history/family records centre. Depending on when she married (some earlier certificates don't contain as much information), the record should state whether she was a widow or a spinster. However, if you would have to travel a long way to your nearest FRC/local archives, it would obviously be cheaper (and definitely much quicker and easier) to pay £7.00 for the certificate. Amanda |

Unless you can find her on census pre 1901 then her marriage cert is the best way. I always buy certs anyway as a double check that I,m tracing the right family. its very easy to go off course. Shirley |
