I once did research for a person trying to learn the maiden name of her ancestor and the mother-in-law was in the household on a census listing and her name was listed as WATSON--same of the woman's married name. A bit more research proved there had been a cousin marriage and, indeed, her name was WATSON also. Joan JYoung6180@aol.com
