Rebecca, I have not come across this, but I have several widows that when they remarry it shows on the records as Miss and her married name instead of her maiden name or instead of Mrs. Anita Rebecca wrote: I have found 2 instances of something I think is rather odd. I have 2 cases of a widow remarrying. Her name is listed as her maiden name, but she is given the title 'Mrs.'. For example, Mary Cavenir married ??? Chandler. Then she is widowed. When she remarries, she is listed as 'Mrs. Mary Cavenir'. If she's going to use 'Mrs.' shouldn't she use her married name? Shouldn't she be "Mrs. Mary CHANDLER'? Has anyone else seen this?
