Women are generally recorded with their maiden name. If they marry again, I might record in their notes which name they used to marry....usually the 1st marriage surname. Gwyn

Quite new to all this, so please tell me when you put down a wife and mother in a tree do you put her married name or maiden? Hope I am posting in the correct thread! Thanks Louise
