If a lady was marrying again c 1908 after being widowed (or possibly divorced) would she use her original maiden name or her old married name?
The 1911 census beta test has given me a chink of light about a supposed daughter that registered her father's death in 1924. In 1911 she is listed as Olive May Doughty Step daughter bn Great Yarmouth - where as her mother is listed as married 3 yrs and has the Moxon surname.
I haven't looked on the marriage full listings but I know that I didn't see Alban Moxon listed when I looked previously so I thought I'd go from the "wifes" side. I found Olive May in 1901 in Great Yarmouth aged 2 months or so but her mother was listed as Emma from Bedfordshire whereas 1911 she is Emily from Crediton Devon!?? I wondering now if they are the same person or if it is a horrid coincidence!
