She would have married for the second time under the surname of her first husband, ie. INDIAN. The marriage certificate would usually list her as "formerly Hardy". You do not say when or where she was approximately born.

William died 04 Dec 1871 in a mining accident in Auckland, Durham, England. Ann appears in the 1881 census with William FOSTER and her son Jacob INDIAN, but after that, I cannot find her. In searching for a marriage record, I've found an entry in FreeBMD in Jun 1874 for William FORSTER to Ann INDIAN. Would Ann have used the name from her first marriage when marrying a second time? My goal is to learn her mother's name; her father was Thomas HARDY (there are two born with months of each other in the same place), her mother's name is unknown, and I cannot find a death for her as so many turn up in FreeBMD.

Ann was born about 1822 in Kirkoswald, Cumberland, England. She was married in Alston, Cumberland, England, and she may be found in the 1841, 1851, and 1861 in that same county. It is not until 1871 that I can place her in County Durham. In looking up William FOSTER/FORSTER, he seems to be much younger, and I cannot find them together after 1881. Thank you for the answer to my marriage name question; that his a big help! --- On Tue, 3/3/09, Diane Ainsley <[email protected]> wrote: > She would have married for the second time under the surname > of her first husband, ie.
