Oh, a small note. I see that it says in death place: Kirchberg, Kirchberg an der Iller, Biberach
Whereas death place (original): Kirchberg, Marbach u. Oa
I can see Kirchberg an der Iller and Kirchberg an der Murr are too different places, but I guess Kirchberg, Marbach, is the same as Kirchberg an der Murr?

Europe / Looking for the wedding and death record of Erhard Ortwein
« on: Friday 28 October 22 18:28 BST (UK) »
Hi there. Sorry, I am just looking for two records regarding a man named Erhard Ortwein who lived from 1627 to 1682 in Wurttemberg. An online tree I have found describes him as mayor and court relative in Kirchberg, and Stiftspfleger/church custodian in Backnang, a nearby town. I'd like to confirm that, and from what I've seen in Wurttemberg church records they tend to add a bit of biographical information about the person, and I wondered if anyone would be able to tell me what's on his May 28, 1650 marriage record to Barbarba Schmalzrieder, or his death on March 13, 1682, both in the village of Kirchberg an der Murr.
I really appreciate it.

Aha, thank you, I actually wasn't aware of how women's names on passports and such work today. That is interesting, I know my own mother never changed her surname after her divorce. But, I meant more historically, if things were different back then regarding what name a woman used.

Hey everyone, thanks for the responses. I've concluded I think I was looking at the wrong person, just a person with a similar fairly common name in an area.
But for future reference, am I right in assuming that a woman's married name was her legal name, even if she was widowed? Not just in death records, but generally speaking, in official paperwork, her (late) husband's name would be the one she'd be known by?

Thanks, D1850! I was wondering particularly in the case of widows, but I guess you're right it depended on who was giving the information.

Ah,thank you, Jack! If I'm reading you right, regarding
"James V James and James v Anderson"
Are you saying it would include both names, like "married name, formerly 'maiden name'" or would a woman who had died be recorded simply by her birth name in her death record with no reference to her married name?

Hello. Specifically asking about Ireland in the 1890s.
When a married woman died and it was recorded in civil records, would they record her by her birth/maiden name? Or upon marrying would a woman be known only by her married name on official documents, including on her death certificate?
Thank you.
