Hi If I am looking to find a marriage and I am using the ladies name to search do I use her married name or her maiden name? Christina |

Unless she was previously married, in which case use her first married name. nell |

Please read my reply again! She would be married under whichever surname she was using at the time of the marriage. So if she was born Susan Jones and married Fred Bloggs she would be married as Susan Jones. If Fred then died she would remarry as Susan Bloggs. nell |

Yes, after I'd posted I realised what must have happened. Hope I didn't sound too sharp! I'm off to bed now, goodnight. nell |
