I have found two of my elderly female ancestors in 1911 to be widows on the census when they have husbands alive and in the Workhouse. Has anyone else come across this?
I can't imagine they would get away with claiming a widow's pension but if they wrote this on the census, surely they were also claiming to be widows elsewhere?
