I have several second marriages (widows and divorcees) on my tree and all indexing is under the last known surname. (19th and 20thC) My own second marriage cert has no mention of my maiden name except for dad being on it. I am indexed under my first married name. Some people might marry for a second time using their maiden name, but I'm sure it's not the norm, even today. You lost me on the kids bit! Merry

Not quite sure what you are asking. Do you mean you are looking for the birth reference for a child from the second marriage? I think it will still give the woman's maiden name in the maiden name column. Kath. x

On my birth ref my mum is listed correctly with her maiden name as Smith. If that helps? Pippa

My great grandmother married twice and used her maiden name both times (however, until I prove otherwise the second time MAY have been bigamously).

So on 1837.......... If a lady called vera smith marries a john fields and later marries a david harrison,will the child from the harrison marriage (2nd one) be declared as... Harrison childs name Smith.......or Harrison childs name Fields.

Yes !! my grt gran was married 3 times!!. on her second marriage it states her previous name(the first marriage) & her maiden name. HOWEVER when she remarried the 3rd time it only stated her former married name, no mention of the first married name or her maiden name. Shirley

Im referring to the column on the 1837 site,is this always the original maiden name despite having a previous married name?

Evening all-just need something clarifying-if a woman marries for the second time ,is her original maiden name declared or previous married name? when having kids in second marriage-were talking the 1960's and 1970's.This person had both maiden name and past married name listed under the same reference when getting married for the second time.
