  • Single opposed to Unmarried

    If a man says single in 1939 as opposed to Unmarried, would you say he had been married? and maybe the wife had died.

    Who knows, Val. Sorry, not a helpful answer!

    Off the top of my head though, if your beloved wife died, surely you would describe yourself as a widower? If however, you were divorced, you might describe yourself as single because there was a stigma attached to divorce. Also, who did the describing? The man himself or someone else filling in the form?
