Would a fellow researcher be able to advise me as to what data would be shown on a marriage certificate for that of a lady who had been married previously. I believe that her first husband died before the second marriage. Unfortunately, she was shown as head of the household on the 1851 census, married in 1853 but her second husband had apparently died before the 1861 census and I am unable to find any further information about him. I am hoping that the marriage certificate may give me further details. Kind regards, Kerry from Queensland, Australia

Hi The marriage cert wont tell you her first husbands name only that she was a widow and her maiden name , , If you have got her first husbands name look at the 1841 census for him if not , look on the FBMD for the surname of her first husband that she was using on the 1851 census and her christen name and see if you can find a match , other than that if she had any children by her first marriage get one of there birth cert or perhaps a christening if you can find one and it gives you the fathers name Cheers Cassy Assistant Admin Black Country Potteries, and Wolverhampton Lists ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mrs. Kerry Anne Barter" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 9:50 AM Subject: [Black Country] Ref: Marriage certificate information > Would a fellow researcher be able to advise me as to what data would be > shown on a marriage certificate for that of a lady who had been married > previously. > I believe that her first husband died before the second marriage. > Unfortunately, she was shown as head of the household on the 1851 census, > married in 1853 but her second husband had apparently died before the 1861 > census and I am unable to find any further information about him. > I am hoping that the marriage certificate may give me further details. > Kind regards, > Kerry from Queensland, Australia > ------------------------------------- > The only List that specifically covers the whole of the Black Country.
