I am transcribing Budapest marriage records for the All Hungarian
Database.
The records are for the year 1879 and in some cases I am uncertain
about how
to interpret the meaning of what is written for a bride who, prior
to this
marriage, had either been widowed or divorced. Specifically, is
her maiden
name given first, followed by ozvegy/elvalt and then followed by her
previous husband's surname, or is the meaning just the reverse?
Here are some examples:
(For size considerations I only included the register headings in
the first
