I am not sure! In general, I wasn’t sure about “means” — the ‘e’ looks too high?

Glad you know her first name from other sources. While it is horrid to be defined solely in relation to her husband, most of us would give our eye teeth to know whether a woman was a wife or a widow. Given that degree of detail, do you think the accident had happened recently? Was reported?

Yes, Grace is rather robbed of her identity in this census, isn’t she?
I would infer given her youngest is 9 months old, that the accident that resulted in Andrew’s death in colliery must have occurred within 18 months of the census.
If I’m not mistaken, I believe the 1841 census is a snap shot of 6 June 1841? So if that’s correct, I’m looking for a fatal accident between December 1839 and June 1841. I’m going to try and search for a lead. Could be interesting to find out more about my poor (great x5) uncle’s fate.
