I have a relative born Mary Jane Burton.................................................... She married Charles Matthews under that name, and for the birth of first child she was Mary Jane, by the next to birth to be registered she was Jane matthews (the name my nan knew her by)................................... Her husband Charles died in 1894, and she was soon with another man and 2 more daughters with him. When (if) she married this man would she of had to use her married name on the cert? My nan only knew possible surname of this man as Rixon (dont know spelling as iots only hearsay) .................................................................She then had 3 sons by 2nd 'husbands' brother................so would she be Rixon marrying Rixon?........................................................the certs Ive got for first family & her siblings are Paddington & Kensington
