Title: Widows
Post by: Infamous on Wednesday 19 December 12 19:51 GMT (UK)

Hi
Does anyone know if a widow, remarrying in England, in 1817 have used her married or her maiden name?

Thanks  :)

Most I have come across use the married name when remarrying. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick answer. I was afraid that was the case as it makes tracing her much more difficult. :(
