Re: Census reference "lady"
In Response To: Census reference "lady" ()

The census reads Monk both for Mary Ann and Edwin.
If 'Lady' was a title it would have been included with the name rather than with the occupation. Under Occupation or Rank it would have read "The Lady" or soemthing similar. As an occupation it is the female equivalent of Gentleman, ie someone who did not have to work for a living.
