Kerry Widows
« on: Friday 23 August 24 07:50 BST (UK) »
Hi all
Would someone know what the norm was for Kerry widows when they remarried in the 1800's.  Did they use their maiden names or their married names?  I know they used their maiden names when they acted as baptism sponsors or witnesses but wondered about whether they used them when they remarried after a spouse had died.
Regards
Chris

In most cases I have found they use their married names however I always tend to look for both just to be sure.
