I now know That Mary's surname was Whiting when she married Thomas Paxton in 1916. mariiage reg: WD 8b 728.

Please could anybody help me with the following:
I Mary was a widow when she married Thomas Paxton, would her previous husband christian name be on the marriage cert. as widow of .....Whiting
Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

No it would not give a previous husbands name, would just state she was a widow....

Thinking about it...it's a shame certs dont give details of previous marriages....how much easier it would make things for us hunters of the dead !!!.....I guess it would be a huge invasion of privacy though....

Still trying to work this out and Please if anybody can help me I will more than appreciate it.
So far I have the following Certificates of Mary's

Birth Cert. I know she was born in Bolton and her mother's maiden name was Alice Fletcher. her father's name was Robert Holmes. She was born on 25 NOV 1864

Mariiage cert: reg. WD 8b 728 states she was Mary Whiting (a widow) aged 52, when she married Thomas Paxton aged 54 (widower) married on 26th Feb 1916. her fathers name was stated as Robert Holmes. So I know I have the correct marriage cert here.

Death Cert. Mary died 9th SEpt 1938 the widow of Thomas Paxton, her step daughter Sarah Ann (thomas daughter) was present at her death.

Its trying to find the correc t Whiting that still troubles me.....Is there anybody who can throw any light on this PLEASE>>>>
