What surname does a widow use at her second wedding? COMPLETED

[FxFocus]

My ancestor is marrying the widow Ann Auger. Would that be her original maiden name or her first husbands name. Or worst case, could it be either?

Hi FxFocus

Welcome to Rootschat 

usually her first husbands surname unless she had been married twice before.

Most likely to be her first husbands surname.

She would be married with the name she was known as. Most widows continue to be called Mrs and continue to use the same name. Would be unusual to change your name back to your maiden name, but not unheard of.

Interesting, OH s gt grandmother married her third husband under her maiden name.

Thanks all, that was the answer I wanted.
