Hi Fran, In some cases records (www.familysearch.org) show a marriage with the spouse's parents name.  This might be a clue to searching for the spouse's maiden name.  Do a cross reference to look for her baptism record, to be sure it is the same individual you are searching.  The marriages may show up with the same maiden name, showing the dates of  marriages.  I have a similar situation with a 2x g grandfather with the same name.  Everyone and his brother has the same name, making it difficult to track the right person.  The dates, his parents and place of birth is a clue, and following up on the clues reveal other bits of information that may surprise you.  Good luck, SC  ________________________________ From: Nivard Ovington <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 5, 2013 11:58 AM Subject: Re: [NMB] Information Hi Fran There is no one straight answer First are you sure she divorced? If she did, she could have kept her married name, reverted to her maiden name or used another Often a divorced woman remarried or used her previous married name but not always Likewise if she didn't divorce, many couples simply went their own way and married again Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 05/05/2013 18:16, knight frances wrote: > Hi Folks > can someone tell me how you go about finding a womans second marriage? she > is divorced so would I search for her in her former married name which she > kept or her maiden name. > Cheers Fran ..
