wife or widow

Post by Pontiusmaximus »

I get a bit confused on the terms for wife and widow. If for example, a death record is for Vincenti Abate uxor Maria Costanza, does this indicate Maria is his widow who is still alive? And then if it is Vincenti Abate vir Maria Costanza, does this mean she pre-deceased her husband?
