	If they are the correct certs. the wife's should show her as 'wife of (name)' if he was still alive. Gwyn

	Maiden names were not added to death certificates until 1969 I think. Have a look at this site. It will tell you what to expect on certificates:- http://home.clara.net/dixons/Certificates/indexbd.htm Kath. x

	Hi Can anyone tell me what would be on a death certificate from 1920. I have justfound two names on the death indexes and wondered if the female one would have a maiden name. Both died 1920 ; the wife a quarter before the husband. Cheers Joan
