Someone correct me if i am wrong...........but as far as i know, your Father and Mother's marriage certificate will name your Father's previous wife???

You are right PH - my father was married before he married my mother and his former wife is on their certificate.

Does this also apply to men who were widowed. I have a man who married again as a widower and no mention of his first wife anywhere. I wish there was!
Thanks

Can't help you there Phyll - if you give me the person's name I could have a look and see if I can find a first marriage.

2nd marriages don't always have 1st spouse named.
I have one here and it just says 'previous marriage disolved'.

I don't know if the same applies on a marriage certificate of a Widow/Widower Phyll. But somehow, i think not!! :-S

My grandfather was a widower and it doesn't give my grandmother's name on his marriage certificate to his second wife.

Shirley, I think keith posted on here first and was advised to ask on find ancestors. His mistake is not posting twice (other people have taken over tis thread) but in not deleting this thread. Maybe he doesn't know how to. Maybe he hasn't come back because he is at work or something.
