Sue You don't give any details! When was this relative around, who was she married to? If she was around after civil registration started her maiden name will be on her marriage cert and on the birth certs of her children. You should be able to find her with her husband on a census if she was about anytime between 1841-1901. The census will give her age and place of birth. nell
