I have a relative whose Husband died and she remarried. What Surname should I look for on her second Marriage Certificate please? Thanks Joan Many thanks to Brenda Mills, Georgina Sales & Caroline Clarke for their replies which will enable me to go forward with research, regards, Joan.

I have a Marriage certificate for Gt Gt Grandfathers second Marriage where the Bride is listed by her married name Jackson and that she is a widow and her fathers name is Taylor (her maiden name) Gt Gt Fathers 1st wife was her sister Hope this helps Bren

I found mine under their married name. So I would say try that first. George

Yep - I'd say married name too - my Grandmother was married before she married my grandfather and the entry was on 1837 under her married name - waiting for the cert now but presume that will also detail her maiden name
