On the marridge index would she be listed with her former married name or her maidan name ? Thank's Gill

Depends what she told them - it should be her widowed name, but she might have lied.

Hi Tom, i have one that gives widowed name and one second marridge that gives maidan. Not quite sure what to look for, it's a family i can't find on the 1861 census, just wondered if the wife had remarried so there name had changed. Gill

If it's on the local RO website, it may be listed - and searchable - under both names. Christine
