That one would certainly be a case of not using your married name.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

A grave disservice to the lady - her surname was Court (1901 Census)

I would have said it was a bit of an anti-climax but the Moderators probably wouldn't allow it

Teehee!
Carrying on in that vein, I came across "Eagle Glasscock" yesterday. Replace glass with Wood and I think that's a name any man would be proud of! Although strangely he didn't use it much in the censuses...
