I'm not sure that I am making mayself clear but I hope you know what I am trying to say. Thanks Jane

	I would always enter a person under thair maiden name as ultimately that is where it started and that is the baptism I would need. I would also enter the first husband (or as much info as I had about him) so that it is clear that she married a second time.
