	Claire I would order the marriage cert. Whilst she married as Trim this may not be her maiden name.

	Have you got his death cert? The informant may be Mavis or one of his children. Other than that it's going to be a trawl through the full marriage listing, 1992 backwards to try to find his marriage. Then you need a copy marriage cert to get Mavis' maiden name followed by another trawl through the birth to see if they had any children.
