Kayleigh, I assume you mean maiden names as that is in your heading? This is pretty unusual - are they actual certs. or parish records? |

Yes, maiden names and who female relatives married. Theyre not shown on the information I can search on this website, any advice?? |

Kayleigh, I can't quite figure this out. Can you tell us which records you are accessing? Maybe if you give actual names, locations and dates it might become clearer. |

There are 200 people in my tree and this applies to a few of them so Il give one example. My great grandma's (Ethel Wardley, born 1899 in Roccliffe, died 2005 in Derby) has a sister called Alice Robinson (born 1893 in Boston) I'm unable to find who she married as she has quite a common name and her husbands name is not on the record. I am therefore unable to find her death record as I dont know what her name was when she died. Hope this is clearer. |

You say "her husbands name is not on the record" - what record do you mean? There is no way to find out who she married with a common name like this unless you look for possibles. |

I think Kayleigh is looking at the GRO index. Spouses surnames weren't shown until Sep 1911. |

Kayleigh - you can't find actual English birth certs online. All you can find online is the GRO index. This is available on GR, but for pre 1935ish, a better search facility is obtained by searching on FreeBMD. Before mid 1911, the GRO index did not list mother's maiden surnames. Similarly, the index did not list the spouse's surname pre 1912. (Of course, the actual b.certs and m.certs have this info). For a marr, naturally the spouse is listed on the m.cert, so the index will give the same ref (i.e., date, RDistrict, vol, page) for them, so you can look at all the names with the same ref - there's usually 2 brides and 2 grooms, but they're not paired up. If the marr took place in a church, the parish record for it may be online, but not on GR. |
