Is it likely a man would say he is a Bachelor instead of a Widower on a Marriage Cert by mistake ???
I have a John Wilson aged 54 a Labourer ,Father John Wilson Engineer ,marrying a Mary Burgess Widow ,born 1847 Camden ,in 1899 Islington he says he is a Bachelor.
1901 he says born 1845 Nottinghamshire.
Am trying to track him backwards but I keep coming back to a John Wilson with a Wife Martha and children ? so am wondering if he could have meant Widower and not Bachelor ?
Cannot find Martha in 1901 ??
Thanks
