Hi Merry. Yes you are right I should have asked about samuel at the same time . but like you have said we know his burial so we can give the year approx of his birth . so i have asked if they could check the year , lets see if they will . If not I will have to order the death certificate . and take it from there. the gentleman who gave me the details of william was very kind but a manager of searches was pontificating with me saying how long the process took and was quite rude . so i won't be contacting him again lol

That's a pity. You should have asked if she was the widow of William as you wanted Yes to that question and not the question you asked which is more ambiguous! The registrar probably answered yes regardless of whether it said wife of or widow of.
