Per the title, "M" and "S" are plenty obvious for Married and Single, but what of W/d ?
Is this Widowed? Or Widowed / divorced ?
Thanks in advance!
I would say widowed
I'm pretty sure that's "Wid" -- the official 1901 (and 1891) notation for "Widow." There's really nothing else it could have been.
("Widower" was "Widr." on that census, and there's obviously no "r" there.)
Here, look under condition: https://www.familyhistory.co.uk/census-abbreviations/
I'm switching from "pretty sure" to "sure." :) Simply the billionth or so case of a census-taker with poor handwriting.
