Hi IDS
On a Scottish death certificate ms = maiden surname, so it's giving you their mother's maiden name. Scottish BM and D certs are very informative.

Could well be! I had a huge problem finding my great grandmother's death certificate, as I was looking in her married name, and MS (maiden surname) She had married again, which I hadn't known. When I finally tracked her down, all 3 names appeared on the death certificate but only her original birth surname showed as MS

Hi IDS
Sorry I didn't read your post properly, (too keen to try and be helpful), to me it does look like there has been a previous marriage. What I said about Scottish certs still stands though - they are a mine of information  ,

Maggie1895 - I can imagine it must have been a great feeling to get past what must have seemed at the time a dead end! I think the "Previously Jones" must have been a previous marriage in my case - there doesn't seem to be any other obvious explanation.
purplekat - No need to apologise - I appreciate your eagerness to help! Yeah, I think it looks like a previous marriage to me too. I agree about the certs as well - they've been a Godsend and given me so much information so far. It's almost too easy, although I think I'm reaching the hard part now, as you'll see below. Thanks again for your reply!
In the meantime I think I may have had some progress in terms of my surname change. Although my Great Grandpa died a Smith, I think he was born illegitimate to a lady called Milligan. This ties in with the scraps of stories I've heard over the years. I guess somewhere along the line he was adopted by some Smiths. I guess it's now down to finding and confirming this adoption happened! Any suggestions are welcome!
