1939 Marital Status Query
« on: Wednesday 28 October 20 11:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,

I was just looking at the record of one of my distant cousins & in 1939 he is living with his mother who is a widow, but he is marked as M (married), but in capitals, underneath, in the same box is 'LA'. Any ideas what that might mean?

Suzanne.

"Living Apart" ?

Just a complete guess!
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

That makes sense! I couldn't think & it was pinging at the back of my brain! Thank you!
