You don't say WHEN she was born, or whether and when they moved. If she married after 1864 in Ireland you should be able to get the marriage certificate which would have her maiden name on it. If she married in England after 1837 same applies. Her maiden name would also appear on the birth certs of any of her children if they were born after these dates. nell
