image says mary is a widow

Graham .............

marriages did break up in those days, and common-law relationships were at least as common as today.

People also married bigamously after a marriage break-up ...........

.......... both bigamy and common-law happened because divorces were extremely expensive and difficult to obtain, and only the very wealthy could afford it ............ or the stigma.


When marriages did break up, the wife often described herself as widowed (or even single) on later censuses, as she wouldn't want the neighbours to know that her husband had left her (or vice versa).

NOTE:-

The image of the 1901 Census also says that Keziah is deaf

I misunderstood your post to mean that Charles was LIVING with Julia ....... he is not, he is seemingly boarding with her

Note also that the image says that Albert is Charles' NEPHEW not his son.
