Of course they may have separated and Elizabeth put herself as a widow to make things a bit more appropriate whereas he maintained that he was married in 1891. Perhaps by 1901 she had died or he then too pretended to be a widower to save face? Would be interested to know who was the informant of his death in 1905.

That 1891 census entry - although it says Wife as her relation to the head of household it also states she is a widow. Very odd.

Strange shown as wife but looks like it also says Widr ???

1891 - James shows as married. He's with daughter Catherine and son-in-law Arthur Sansom.

On what do you base the fact that she died 1886 -96 ?

Could she have re- married ?
