"maiden name" might for some be the only name. Not everybody changes
their name when they marry. Some places they didn't in the old days nor
in these days.

Bill, that only makes sense. A "maiden" name is from before any marriages
and during the maiden years. All other names are marriage names from various
marriages.

Thanks to all who responded to my query. From the replies I got I can only
assume that Legacy will not allow me to enter the wife's name on her second
marriage the way I prefer to enter it. So I shall just live with Legacy's rule
that I must use the same maiden name on both marriages - and I assume it would
hold true even for 3rd and 4th and etc. marriages.
Thanks again.

I agree, Jenny, and nor will it allow someone to have what in effect
would be two maiden names ie. the one used for the first marriage and then the
one used for the second marriage.
What I do is to enter a Marriage Note to say that she married the second
time using her first married name.
