General Question on How Females are named in the case of a 2nd Marriage

As an example if a woman whose maiden name is Comerford and her first marriage to to a man whose last name is Doyle and Doyle dies and Comerford marries again. Suppose the 2nd husband's last name is Ryan.

Is the custom in Ireland for the the marriage record to read that the marriage is between Ryan and Comerford OR Ryan and  Doyle?

 

Thanks!

Marge,

Normally the record shows that the marriage is between Ryan and Doyle (alias or otherwise Comerford).

Regards,

 

McCoy

Marge:

I agree with McCoy. Also, on the civil marriage record, the name of the father is shown and you would see Comerford.
