	The woman had probably been married previously........but you'd need to obtain the cert to clarify it.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 32 Send Message	Thanks Reggie. Thought that was the most likely as the two surnames can hardly be transcribed. Oh well, another 2x£7 then. S

	You only need to order once.......put in the name of which you are certain, and leave out the other..........
