Not only marriage certs bring surprises. |

As you probably know, one can also obtain BMDs from the local Rego Office and some of these have their own indices partially transcribed online - see: |

It is usually only when the female involved has reverted to her maiden name or some other name after the first marriage is over. She is therefore indexed in her "proper" name - the previous married name, and then again in the name she is known by at the time - either her maiden name or any other name she is known by at the time of the second marriage. |

Agreed. I was looking at a similar situation this morning, the wife was indexed twice, once under her maiden name, the other under her previous married name. |

The inference must be that the lady had been married before............ |

Friend or Hughes....one would be her maiden name and the other her previous married name. |

I wonder if someone could assist please. I have just looked up a marriage for John W Oliver, registered in J,A,S, 1947 and it shows the other party's name as 'Friend or Hughes'. Do you know if this means they could not read the writing on the original certificate, or does it have another implication? I wouldn't really have thought the name Friend could be mistaken for Hughes. Many thanks. Marilyn |
