<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I recently discovered that an ancestor of mine died when he had barely been married five years, leaving behind a wife and three small children. In 1837 this caused a large change in his widow’s life. Did she move back to the nearby village where she was from? Did she move in with parents or a family member? How did she support herself and her children? Did she marry again and have more children?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All are things I need to think about in my research strategy to locate the ancestor after her husband’s death.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
