	Strangely, although on birth certificates, if the mother is on a second marriage, it should state both her previous names (eg Harriett Thorowgood, late Goodenough, formerly Hobbis for one of mine) on the second marriage certificate I've always found only the previous married name given - in the above example Harriet's second marriage certificate lists John Thorowgood bachelor and Harriet Goodenough widow (but her father's name was given as Tobias Hobbis which helped!)
