Hi

Is it this record you are talking about? If so, it looks like it is a W for widow to me - as it seems similar to the W's of the Widowers further down.

Just found the image is too large to attach - this census sheet had Mary Jones at the top of the sheet and there was a chunk missing from the top of the form - that's about as descriptive as I can be!!
