Do you know when and where she died? Do you know for sure if she was married twice? Have you sent for the two marriage certs? Both ought to have a maiden name on them. If the marriage certs are for the same woman, her former/previous married name should also be on the second cert. If you do not know the name she died under, how do you know her maiden name? What surname is on your parent's (particular grandmother's child) birth cert? You really need to start with yourself, then go to your parent's death if they have passed on, their marriage, then their birth. Only then do you go on to their parents'/your grandparents'.
