Maiden names on Death certs

[jan57]

 Could anyone  please  tell me when  maiden  names  first   appeared  on  death certs  ?   I don't suppose it was far back  as 1868 !   ? I'm  attempting to  find the  maiden  name  of   3 x great grandmother ,   her last child  was  born  1833( so   no help there  )   and she died in 1868,      with  her  husband Thomas Jones   and  children  on census,  Familysearch  site has  loads  of Thomas Jones/Jane marriages , for Shropshire area ,   Jane was  born Westbury  Shropshire  according to  census in 1791,

 Thanks  in  advance

certainly not as far back as that!

Think there was a re-design of the certificate about 1968 -- so maiden name was probably added then

Maiden names appeared from 1 April 1969.

Have you found the children's baptisms, sometimes they have maiden names?

  Thanks  to  you  both

 Not  as  yet groom ,   childrens names were Jane, Edward, William, John  and  Maria , , those names  coupled  with  Jones       is  a  bit  of  a nightmare !!  added  to  he fact that  lived on the English  /Welsh border   but will keep  trying !

Hi Jan57 ... A long shot, but first born sons were often named after the mothers father, so its possible Janes father was called Edward.  Ok you still don't know the maiden name, but as you look through births and marriages, it might give you some to concentrate on, and eliminate, first.   

Also if you do come across any baptism records for the children, a maiden name is sometimes incorporated into a childs name.  I once found an ancestor that way, so something to bear in mind

 Thanks Kilkennylass,    its  actually  for that ' middle  name/ mothers  maiden name  theory '  we ( Mum and I)  are   looking  into ,  as   Mums  uncle was given  a middle  name ,  but  no one  knows   why  that name !  he wasn't  baptised ,   so  nothing to  do  with    godparents  .

Hi Jan,

Often a middle name is from a grandmother's maiden name although not always but it seems to keep the female line going if you see what I mean

Hi Jan,

Out of curiosity can you please reveal the middle name

 It was  Poulter ,   the   uncle who  was  given it   was the   great grandson of   the  Jane  in question ,   no one else   in the  family   had   a  middle  name  like  that ,  We suspect that it's a  maiden  name   of  someone ,    would  be  nice  to  be able  to   clarify   the suspicions !!
