If someone is divorced but remarries how do you put the information on the tree? EG Grandmother was a Jones at birth, married a Brown, divorced and remarried a Dunn. Do you put her down as Jones marrying a Dunn or a Brown marrying a Dunn?

I know on GR you can tick a box for divorced, so if you put both husbands on, you can tick the divorced box for whichever one they divorced. The woman would show as her maiden name, but it will have her as being married twice and divorced.

She will be on your tree under her maiden name............to clarify things for yourself, you can put the GRO info about the second marriage under 'Extra details'............. Reg
