	I think I know the answer to this but just want to check? I have a family Bennett but the wife has another name wrote beside Bennett and it isn't her maiden name The daughter is 5 and she has another name next to Bennett so I'm thinking as I know the name of the daughter is her married name does that mean the wife became a widow and married again Hope you can understand what I'm after

	It does mean she remarried The way they are transcribed is they put the new surname first instead of the current surname at 1939 They have also found the details of the daughters later marriage as an adult For Instance my elder sister shows on the record .she was born in 1931 and passed away in 2002 They picked up her married name when she married in 1955 and have opened her record as they have picked up her death too
	Researching: Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957
