Married or Widow on census

[Genie2004]

I would like to get an opinion about a census image if possible please. Does the entry opposite the arrow say Mar or Wid?

With the crossing out it is unclear.

Thank you for looking

I would say widow but it's not easy to read

Thank you Carol

I have read it as widow too. The image is badly scanned and the crossing out is not helpful.

Nice to have another opinion.

all the best

In my opinion - "Mar"

I can see only one entry which has an ascender for a final "d" and that is two lines above.

[sami]

In my opinion - "Mar"

I agree with horselydown - I see it as Mar

If you give the census reference it might make a difference to see a larger selection of the writing.

My first thought was also Mar, but I would like to see more of the writing on the page to compare letters - the Wids, Mars and Unmars.  .

The second entry from the top says Mar, and I think yours looks the same. Image is not the best though ....

Many thanks horselydown86, sami, ruskie

It certainly is a very poor image. Have had another go at uploading more of the image. So difficult to read.

thanks again I am very grateful

I'm saying Widow after looking at all the entries in that column. But agree it is far from clear!

Perhaps if we knew "who, where and when" we might be able to find a clearer version.
