Ireland / Re: Did married women in 18th/19th century Ireland go by their maiden name?

It's interesting you asked this. I've found this post because I have potential ancestors in the irish census. They are
Anne Smith (Head)
Anne Smith (Daughter)
Owen Henry (Son-in-law)
Anne Henry (Granddaughter, aged 1)
Christiane Smith (daughter)
I also have a birth cert saying Anne and Owen Henry were parents of a frederick (an ancestor, born after Anne Henry).
So it looks like Anne Smith junior and Owen Henry were parents of Anne Henry, but then why does Anne Smith junior not have the surname of her husband and daughter?
