Ok, so I looked it up and she was born Alice Lynne Murchison and took the first husband’s name. That brings us back to who in blazes keeps their ex’s name? That’s just crazy. Husbands, in the USA (maybe the same there?), can put a condition in the divorce decree that the ex wife can no longer use his name so it seems they’re both agreeable to this lunacy. Perhaps it’s an “agenda” so that no one forgets who she was 30 years ago.

My mother-in-law goes by her ex-husband’s last name. He bailed on her and their newborn baby 40 years ago. She kept his last name so her son (my husband) would grow up (with the same last name as her) for “dignity”.

They had a couple of other children together. Women do keep their first husband's name in those cases so the children do not feel isolated from the family unit.

she kept her husband’s name because in Australia, it was a famous murder case, and the family is still trying to prove their innocence.
