Abstract

First, this study addresses issues related to the gendered patterns of remarriage in an eighteenth-century market town. Second, it investigates interpersonal relationships in the new family formations including stepparents and stepchildren. When and why did widows and widowers choose to remarry? How did new marriages effect the life of the children born into former marriages? By reading several kinds of archival sources, such as marriage contracts, council protocols, court and parish records, the paper provides an in-depth case study, which by tracking multiple marriages and children of both spouses shows the complexity of blended families could come into existence through iterated remarriages of the spouses. keywords: Óbuda/Altofen market town, 18th century, family, stepfamily, marriage strategies, remarriage patterns, stepchildren, stepparent–stepchild relations
