In the 1840's, if a husband had been declared bankrupt and then died could the wife be liable for his
debts. ? As I have indicated previously my g/g/grandmother remarried within 3 months of her first
husbands death, placed her 3 children in the workhouse and then disappeared along with new hubby.
After years of search with no results I have come to think that they may have changed their names
(unofficially) and as we say "done a runner". If the original question is affirmative then this could be
a valid reason for their disappearance.
