Another reason for young married women being with their parents and not with their husband in ''the old days'' was that the young woman was awaiting her confinement and mum was going to help her with the birth..........maybe not the case here, as they had only been married a few weeks or so, but quite a regular occurance on my tree!

At that time the availability of married accomdation was very scarce so yes, it was normal. Keith |

Hi, My Great Grandfather was in the Royal Engineers. He married in 1905 and I have postcards from him to his wife at various addresses, sometimes with her family, sometimes with his. I guess they spent a lot of time away from home as they do now. Carol x |

yes i believe they were married before the census because their marriage was registered in the March Q and on the census she is there under her married name, rather than her maiden name. Probably was very normal, but just hadnt heard of it before. They were both only 20 so that might be a reason too? |

I am presuming they married before 31 March 1901? Otherwise that would explain why they are living seperately! If the marriage was close to the census date then maybe they just hadn't sorted out somewhere to live yet? Or maybe he had to stay in the barracks to serve out a certain time? |

Robyne I don't know the answer to your question but could she have just been visiting her parents on the night of the census? Debby |

my grandads parents were married in 1901 and my g'grandad was a private in the Northumberland Fusiliers. After the married they lived separately, him in the barracks and her with her parents. I know this because on the 1901 census she is there with her married name living with her parents. Did this usually happen? |
