Looking for widows
« on: Friday 23 May 08 15:35 BST (UK) »
This may be a stupid question, but when looking for a possible remarriage of a widow (in this case a war widow from world war I with (I think) no children, would her name inevitably appear as that of her deceased husband in the marriage records (in England)?

It should her last married surname. With Widow in the "Condition" column.

Dear Stan,

Thanks a million.

It's nice to be sure when you're sifting through quarter after quarter of indexes.
