Can anyone advise me? When looking for a second marriage of my Aunt in 1837online should I look under her maiden name or her married name from first marriage?

Only in my experience, but they have used their married name.

As a researcher, the majority of ladies marrying for a second (or third) time use their married name when remarrying. Joan
