Good to know:

If you have ever seen the words Consort or Relict on a headstone and wondered what they meant-

Consort was the common 17th & early 18th century term for a woman who died before her husband. Typically, seeing this on a headstone we would know that at the time of her death, the deceased was married and her husband survived her. Relict (may also be seen as Relic, Relick, Relect , Relek or Releek) also a 17th & early 18th century term used to describe a woman who died  after her husband did. Thus, she died as a window.  While Relict was usually used as a description of a female, it was sometimes used for males and can occasionally be seen on the headstone of a male.
