Not usually
It will usually say wife or widow of and the husbands name

The marriage certs though should name her father which you can cross check with her birth

Hmmm - can't see any way to 'prove' its her.
I suppose the Cox marriage would still have her birth father on it if it's her? and would say widow - I'll have to go that route sand see from there then. thanks

yes thanks Shirley - i have her birth cert -its just 1920 onwards which ahs been a puzzle -but do seem to be getting somewhere. ironically it looks likely she grew up in the same city as my grandad and they probably never knew each other existed!
sad really- he always longed for family.

off to order the 2nd marriage (hopefully!) thanks

The death cert should show her maiden name......and place of birth, assuming the informant knew those details
