Hi Peter >>Hannah Foster late Malow formerly Sheldon. Should I take this to be a >>widow Malow who married a Foster and whose original name was Sheldon?<< Yes exactly right, and you are lucky to have this reference to her former marriage. As the instructions to Registrars were to enter the maiden name of the mother, not all bothered with intervening names, making the tracing of the marriage(s) difficult if not impossible as you are looking for the marriage of a couple who "never married" - at least under thaat name!
