Hi, One of my great aunts left her husband for another man in 1924, her husband fell into a depression and hung himself in May of 1925, if his wife went on to marry again, which name would be on the marriage index, her maiden name or her married name?, I am trying to find what happened to her, many thanks, Jean
Hi
I think legally she should have used her married name.

Bill
Hi Bill,
Yes married name but possibly her maiden names as well, as with one of my ancesters on her second marriage certificate it gave married and maiden name. However I do not think that there was a legal requirement for the maiden name?

Hi, Thank you both for your replies, I was hoping it would have been her maiden name, because that was Youd, but her married name was Jones, so looks like a long trek through the indexes, best wishes, Jean

Where did she live and what was her Christian name?

Hi Bill, Her maiden name was Margaret Youd/e, daughter of Thomas Youd/e of 11-13 Bolton Street, Salford, Lancs,(The Bleachers Arms),but she was known as Maggie, she married a Thomas Jones in 1908, and had three children Stanley, Edith and Margaret, Edith died young. Best wishes, Jean

I asked because some Counties have begun indexes their Births Marriages and Deaths and it may be easier to search these than the GRO indexes. For instance Lancashire, I see Salford was mentioned, have begun indexing but it's far from complete. The web site is:
