We get so used to using their maiden names, I always think of my rellies that way. Thats OK for the birth and marriage certificates. I got an email from GRO today refunding 4 of the £7 , because they could not find it. TIP: double check when you send for a death cert that you have put the married name, it could be costly!! K :)
