Children Of Second Marriages

[wrjones]

Of course the answer may appear obvious;Where a Woman marries twice,when children of the second Marriage are recorded in the GRO Birth Index,would the the Mother's original maiden name always show?

i don't think so i think their first married name is shown.

Hello William 

I think the correct form was to show her maiden name as this is what was required but there might be confusion. The full cert should show all three and there is obviously room for errors to creep in.

added - the ones that I've seen have always shown the maiden name

i have a couple (was trying to find them) where the second married name was shown in the index but yes on the cert as Gadget says it should say all names formerley .... late ......

Hello William

I think they should show the mother's maiden name.
However ... the indexes for my mother's and uncle's births state their mother's first married name.  Now I am wondering what is actually on their birth certificates

I would have thought 'maiden name' is just that.  Not the previous married name.

But......

My gran's birth certificate shows her mother's maiden name and first married name.  This was in 1884, before mothers' maiden names were listed on BMD.  Be interesting to see what shows up when the whole thing is digitalised (or is it digitised?) and all maiden names are shown back to 1837.

My biggest brickwall is my great grandmother and on her marriage certificate it does not show her maiden name only her name from her first marriage. However, you can usually tell from the bride's father's name, which is how I figured out her maiden name.
