Please can someone tell me - if the mother's name on a birth cert says "Mary Saunders, formerly Langdon" does that mean she was married before rather than Langdon being her maiden name? Sue |

It should mean that Langdon is her maiden name. |

Thanks Brian and Ann. As she's been a brickwall I wanted to be sure what I was looking for next! Sue |

If the child's mother has been married before it would give her (current) married name then 'Late ..... (previous married name) the 'Formerly.... (Maiden name). At least that's what I was told by a GC member some time ago when this was on one of my birth certs. Lynne |
