I have seen this before. It is easier for the woman to say she is a widow, rather than have to explain where her husband is!

Thank you. I did see this record but dismissed it because of him living in Malvern. However, the Lionel Sylvester Manns mentioned would be his son so I sm thinking that this is the correct Charles

Thank you. This is the correct family. I wonder why they were not with the husband Charles who was living on Manchestet and shy call herself a widow

I am also trying to find his family in the 1891 Census

I have found him living alone in 1891 in Deansgate, Manchester but no sign of his family,
wife Margaret Elizabeth and children James,Charles & Lionel Sylvester Manns

However, athey are all back together in the 1901 Census, living in Wakefield.

Thank you

Another Manns brick wall!

It looks as if he travelled away from Gloucestershire to work as a Mat Maker/Rag Weaver

02.10.1880 married Margaret Elizabeth Fisher in Lancester

By 1911 Census living in Wakefield.

1939 Register he is living alone (Widower) still in Wakefield

My problem is that i cannot find his death date. Hope someone on here will be able to help

Many thanks
