Can anyone tell me when you do a search of the death of a woman do you use her married name or her maiden name. I wasn't sure so I ended up doing both! Michelle

I haven't been on that site, but I would imagine that you have to search for the name at the time of death, which would be the married name. I think it's for marriages that you can search for maiden names Jacqui
