If you think they might have married after 1984, you could do a browse on 1837 on line ... mind you if it's a 'common name' the list might be enormous. If not you could book a reader at your local Latterday Saints Research Centre and plough through every quarter of the General Register Office index of Births/Marriages etc which have fiches from 1907 to 1983. The volunteers in my nearest one are really helpful. A

Hi, Try looking for her marriage which will give her "new" surname, then try electoral rolls. Hope this helps, Gwynne
