There’s something very pleasurable in being able to identify the “elusive” Mrs that historians give up on. I often cringe when I see the Mrs used as a default in 1880-1950 archival catalogues since these women are often findable, especially if they're from a class that regularly shows up in vital stats or genealogical research.
