Had a marriage certificate through yesterday of my gt etc grandmother, marriage was in 1884, and it gave her maiden name not her previous spouse's surname. So there's still hope Bex x

I know you're talking about a case in the 1800s but the current situation is that you don't have to include your maiden name on your marriage cert/registration if you choose not to. However, if you ever need to prove that you were called something else (e.g. from a previous marriage), the onus is on you to do so. As for father's details, it's optional whether you include them. Btw, on a civil partnership certificate, you can opt to show any combination of father/step-father (must be married to your mother)/adoptive father/mother/stepmother (must be married to your father)/adoptive mother. All much more up-to-date!! Jack

Not as such - but it should name her father with his surname, which amounts to the same thing. Angela

Just in case I'm mistaken, does the marriage certificate for a woman's second marriage give her maiden name? Thanks,, Bev x
