Had a look for a marriage on freebmd and it came up with this

1958

HARTILL Ernest WILSON Southport 10f 1404
HARTILL Ernest WARD Southport 10f 1404


Is this 2 seperate marriages or not

Ernest b, 1914

Thanks

This was added to that entry:

Marriages Mar 1958
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HARTILL Ernest WILSON Southport 10f 1404 BD1874
#COMMENT Entry reads WILSON or WARD for spouse

It means that she had been married before most likely

not posting names as it is possible that they are still living but if you search on the two surnames for her with spouse surname of Hartill then you will see that bride had same forenames

Same marriage I wold think as the original shows Wilson or Ward as the wife

When you click on the 1404 on that free bmd entry it will show you the lady is both Ward and Wilson. (Though one entry is for Harthill)

There's a birth of a Hartill child in 1958 Southport with mother's maiden name Wilson.

remember not all marriages have been transcribed on freebmd yet - 1952 onwards has large gaps

have you tried ancestry?

Am I right in thinking that the 2 surnames would be shown even if Patricia had not been married before but the surname she gave for her father was different to her own?

They are on freebmd.

type wilson and hartill and 1958 to 1958 and Ward and Hartill and they all come up together

"I am entering both names but nothing is showing ......"

do you mean by this that you have looked for a previous marriage for Patricia wilson/Ward?
