Like the finer vanity sets, compacts, chatelaine items, etc..typically the spoons, and often tea sets/tea items, would have the woman's initials on them.
If it was a full silverware setting (such as for 8 or 12 as was proper) or large silver pieces, they would normally have just the Family Name initial.
At least in this country it is easy to locate a woman who is married because she most likely has the same last name as her husband (or is a hypen with her married name). In other countries, the woman retains her maiden name but her children have the husbands last name. I have found that very difficult when trying to locate someone and not knowing her husband name. Hard to find that she has an identity.
