Anyway, GRO indexes before 1912 didn't have the surname of the spouse included, and I guess that goes for the GRO Overseas indexes too, so you will only ever get one of the two names you're after until these index images are transcribed and cross-referenced. However, just one name will be enough to order the certificate, if your relative hasn't already definitely got it.
