Mary Ellen Derbyshire

[cazzand]

I have looked at the 1911 census for this person and found her but I can't seem to find out how many children she had I know some died. When I have looked up other people it has said how many lived and how many died was this compulsory or not to give this info. Any help would be great.

Hi Carol

As I suspected, Mary was 'not married' at the time as she was a widow. I think its a matter of interpretation really. It says '--the present marriage, or married woman.' If your husband was dead then you could say it's not the present marriage
