I am searching for the marriage maiden name of four of my Great...etc relatives all from Lancashire.
I don't know if this a common occurrence but on four sets of relatives I am unable to trace the maiden name of the female. I have already seen how fast and efficient some of you are so any help at all for these families would be appreciated.
1) Robert Holt B: 1855, Clayton, Lancashire, England married to Nancy or Nancey B: about 1858 Matlock, Derbyshire, England. I am not sure what year they got married but do know they had children named Martha, William, George, Hannah and John. Can anyone tell me Nancy's maiden name so I can continue forward and if so how they did it?
2) John Unwin B: 1857 in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England married to Elizabeth ? B: 1868 in Ashton, Lancashire, England. Again I can't seem to locate their wedding date but do know they had children Martha Ann, George, John, Thomas and Ann as I have got a family photo. He later remarried Sarah ? 1856 in Hulme, Manchester, Lancashire, England and had three children to her. Again I can't locate Sarah's maiden name and its driving me insane.
3) William Taylor B: about 1857, Northwich, Cheshire, England married to Caroline ? B: about 1858, Northwich, Cheshire, England.
4) Lastly Thomas Robinson B: about 1855 in Manchester, Lancashire, England married a Mary E ? B: about 1855, Manchester, Lancashire, England.
1st day on the site and love the community already.

Hello Dave  Glad you are enjoying Robert Holt married Nancy Goodwin Q2. 1876 Prestwich Vol. 8d. Pg. 524 Lancashire BMD has the marriage at Christchurch, Bradford. 1871 census : Nancy Goodwin born c. 1853 Derbyshire is a servant in Bradford.
How did you match the two together? Especially if you didn't know the year or her maiden name?

I looked them up on the 1881 census - found the age of the oldest child from that and then looked for a Robert Holt marrying a Nancy before the date of the first child  Luckily, Nancy was not a super-common name 
Then, having found the marriage and her maiden name, look in previous censuses to check that there was a Nancy Goodwin born about that time in the place stated.
That's just a broad outline - it doesn't always work so easily - they may not have married at all; they may have been married ages before the eldest child was born; they may have married after the child was born. Also - they might be called John Brown and Mary Smith - Robert Holt and Nancy Goodwins weren't thick on the ground
