I am trying to find out whom my great grandad's William Henry STubbs, 2nd marriage was too .On his death certificate his wife is down as being Lillian J. I have found their marriage where she was Lillian J Owen. The thing is she was married before. How can I find out who she married before.

Thanks for an advice.

Buy the marriage certificate - it should have all her previous names. How do you know she was married before?

I only thought it would have her previous marriage name on it.

I now she was married before as my father recalls it.

Well even if it does only have her previous married name on it, it will still have her fathers name on and hence her 'birth' surname.

Not too sure this is all I know she married my great grandfather 1935, Birmingham as Lillian J Owen. She died in 1967 Birmingham aged 87. But my father said she had been married before with children.

Sorry I cant be of any more help.
