Hi I have just received a birth cert for Gawin Wild and am confused to what his mothers maiden name was it reads Jane Wild formerley Crone, late Defty. Does anyone know what this means? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Liz

Liz I would say that her maiden name was Crone, she married a Defty who died, and then remarried a Wild. Good luck with it Rachel.

It means that her maiden name was Crone and her previous married name was Defty Margaret
