A marriage record may indicate the bride was “Miss” or “Mrs.” There is also the possibility that the title is missing. A missing title only indicates the title is missing and the bride may or may not have had a previous husband.
And always make sure you read the “Miss” or “Mrs.” correctly. For some writers the two words look alike–and genealogists know there’s a big difference.

And sometimes a Miss was given the title of Mrs. out of respect.
And at some periods of time “Mrs.” did not necessarily mean that the bride had been married previously.
