	Maiden name usually - but it's your tree, so your choice. :-)
	Researching: Eayres (Northants/London) Walker (Surrey) Loveday (Northants) Moore (Tipperary)

	The details of your parents will look extremely odd if you don't use your maiden name. And how would you record your husband? And what if you have more than one marriage?
