Mayo / Middle name is a previous married surname?

I think I'm right in saying that a female might have used her maiden name as her middle name.
I've certainly found a few examples of that in my family in Mayo in the mid 1800's.
But might she retain her previous married name as a middle name in the same way?
And would this practice indicate that there was another person of similar age in the vicinity, otherwise with the same name?
