What was your Joseph's occupation ?

How do you know Bessie was with Joseph from 1904 ?

The Joseph you found as a boarder in 1901 was a Boiler Slater, inside boiler worker and was single.

I think this is likely to be him in 1911

My Grand father, Joseph Conley (Connolly) born 1878 in Attercliffe, Sheffiedl, is shown as married to a Bessie Bennett Johnson in Lancaster, 1898. In the 1991 census, Bessie is in Lancaster, a Cotton worker, with her first daughter, Pyllis Maude, aged one year. She is with her Brother, Edward Johnson.. What is puzzling me is that she is shown as a widow. Yet she is still with Joseph Conley in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester, with her children from 1904 onward. I have found a Joseph Conley from Sheffield in the 1901 census in Mansfield, Notts, as a lodger. It could be my Grand father but then Bessie would not be a widow?
If any one can help me I will be a happy bunny.
