Nothing to add to BK6 from this thread
I've just spent ages looking for the death of George Edward Hamblet because his wife of four years stated "husband recently deceased" as her occupation having changed her marital status from wife to widow on the 1861 census:

Eventually I gave up, only to find he was 1) alive at the time, but listed as single and 2) back with his wife on the following census!!

Isn't it a wonder we ever get our family histories sorted out?! lol
