another question:

If Joseph Cecil Lennard went through all the 'scandal' of having a divorce in 1886 why on earth would he say he is married still in the 1891 census . What would your status be if you did get divorced ... single?  I have not yet come across a divorcee before 

can't see Charlotte at all  .... have tried some marriages for her but none work out!

hi Debs, that certainly looks a likely candidate.

Re 1891 status,  Joseph Cecil couldn't really call himself single or unmarried with a child in the house.  I've never seen a divorce that early either, perhaps the enumerator hadn't either 

Perhaps he was telling the truth in 1901 and she had died.. but WHERE!

[jc26red]

Dee - the Bauer v Lennard 1887 could be at the LMA, I know they haven't digitised everything so it would be worth sending them an email to check if its there or not and could you have the reference for your friend.

Not only WHERE ,but under what NAME ... she could have remarried .... arrrghhhh

Just to add my two cents worth ......

Lennard may have been granted a Decree nisi (Not absolute) if there was still a related case before the courts. e.g. Dr Brown was contesting the case.

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decree_nisi

In which case, he would still technically be married until he partitioned for a Final Decree.

[jc26red]

Dr Brown did contest and was awarded costs  in Feb 1887  so it was all done and dusted by then
