Hi Deb, are you trying to find the date of the marriage, or information about her first name - or some other info?

best wishes

Hi Deb, the death certificate for her husband will not have the wifes name on it, unless she is the one who informs the registrar of the death. Most of the ones I have sent for do have relatives names on them as the informant, often a son, etc.

The best information would be on a birth certificate for one of her children, what information do you have here?
