<p>When it comes to taking a married name, it really is for worse and not for better for some women, a new database has found.</p>
<p>Records show more than 50 women became Mary Christmas after their wedding with the first recorded example being Mary Cannon who married in Alton, Hampshire in 1837.</p>
<p>Other wives who married into unfortunate surnames included Holly Oakes, Eileen Dover and Hazel Nut, according to archives on family history website Findmypast.co.uk.</p>
<p>The website, which has launched the new marriage search system MarriageMatchTM, also found women who became Queenie King, Mona Lott and Jean Pool.</p>
<p>Joy Rider, Lily Pond, Anita Bath, Candy Barr and Kerry Oakey were others among the embarrassing names.</p>
<p>The website also found a real-life Romeo and Juliet, who married in Lambeth, London in 1971.</p>
<p>Celebrity unions found in the marriage index included actor Jude Law and Sadie Frost in 1997, and Kate Winslet and Jim Threapleton in 1998.</p>
<p>Records revealed Lancashire was the top county to marry in, with 11.66 million records listed between 1837 and 2005 while Birmingham was the most popular marrying town or city.</p>
<p>Debra Chatfield, marketing manager at Findmypast.co.uk, said: &#8220;As the first company to publish birth, marriage and death records online, Findmypast.co.uk has always been committed to making family history research more accessible.</p>
<p>&#8220;This brand new way of searching the marriage records is a major breakthrough in family history enabling people to find their ancestors&#8217; marriages more quickly and easily than ever before by using our revolutionary new tool MarriageMatchTM.&#8221;</p>
