If you are looking for a female on the Census, do you go by her maiden name if you know it, or her married name?

Ummmm. . .

Maiden name before she gets married; Married name after she has married.

Hi Ceri

Usually they would go by their married name, however I have seen instances where they have reverted back to their maiden name.

If you cannot find her, give us her details what you know and we may be able to find her for you

A woman, once married, is usually recorded in censuses and other documents under her married name.  Of course, she might be using another name and pretending she's married

Like great, great auntie Mary who married several times. Sometimes legally. 

But she did give the correct names of her children in the censuses, thank goodness. So Ceri, if you ancestor had children, you might look for their mother through their census records.

Whatever name you believe she would have been known by at the relevant date.
