Her children's birth certificates should give her maiden name. Try looking for those on BMD. |

Jayne If you can't find the marriage record, you can perhaps find one of their children from a census and then order that child's cert as it will have the mother's maiden name on it. nell |

With the help of some kind people on here, I found out my gg grandmother's name was Priscilla married to Michael McMahon. I've searched every entry on BMD and can't find any record of their marriage. I know she was born in Sheffield c1857. Anyone have any ideas where else I might look? Many thanks Jayne |
