You would search using the married name, I have a couple of people in my family with double barrelled names, they are down on the index as both? as a single name, eg. white-hirst they are listed as white then again as hirst, but on the index they are same vol/page number, I checked at the registry office were they were registered and they are the same person, on the cert that i have using the gro vol/page number it came back White-Hirst. Hope this helps Roy

Christine the death would normally be registered under the married name. What name are you looking for and approximately when?
