Bottom Line First:
I DID find a search for Rex Maguire and found a posted 27 April 2010 inquiry on the
Klickitat Co message board...AFTER this search was posted.
It appears they were married on 13 May 1963, in Bingen, Klickitat County. So, you appear
to have found the possible maiden name of Virginia ?
--From the posting in Klickitat County: (Jeffrey Elmer is a VERY qualified researcher).
He mentioned the WA State Archives. I did search them, without success:
http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/Home I also searched several other sites (besides
Ancestry.com), to include the Family Search Labs; sites for death, newspapers; Books, etc.
There is VERY little information on anyone named Rex Maguire/Mcguire.

Lynda,
A couple of suggestions: When you post, provide some criteria information about the
persons you seek, that helps in finding additional information about the people involved,
in this case, outside the area of search. Post their date of birth if you have it, or
approximate, date of death is helpful. Also, anything that would aid in finding them in
ANY records. I did look at your other postings to see if you had posted any others
concerning Rex; but in your 200, most just identified the "Obit Request /
Lookup." It also REALLY helps if your subject contained the persons name and DOB.
This site has some helpful hints:

---Then found your other posted message (above) by doing his name lookup. (I will leave
my other work, with my questions at the time. They need not be answered, and you may have
already considered them).
In the 1930 Census (the last one available for research) I find a Rex E. Maguire, son of
Charles and Emily, born about 1905, living in Jefferson, Iowa. If this is the correct
person, by 1950, he would have been circa 45 years of age. IF he is the correct person,
then Virginia/Ginger may have already been married and her maiden name would not be in the
record.
The Washington Death Index shows a Rex E. Maguire, death on 5 April 1971 in Spokane, (No
Further Information). A Death Index shows where a person died (but not always correct),
not where they had lived. This person "may" have been in Spokane for
hospitalization (Veterans Hospital) but had lived, say in Idaho.
--It also shows a Virginia L. Maguire, died 10 May 1972, also in Spokane (NFI). This
could be the correct person, or, coincidence. If correct, "sometimes" a woman
uses the first letter of her maiden name as her middle initial. (If the Klickitat data is
correct, her maiden name, or at least a previous married name was Taylor ?).
---The NFI found in the record is somewhat strange, but all that unusual. This gives the
appearance that there was no one having reputatable information for their death
certificate (the Informant). This couple died a bit over a year apart, not really that
unusual for their age. Based on his death first, there "might" be an obit for
him, if she had wished to spend the funds for one (if there were no other family members).
IF the couple found in Klickitat was the correct couple, this one probably didn't
have children. If the correct couple didn't marry until 1963, were there any previous
marriages with potential for children?
The WA Digital Archives shows a number of Virginia L" marriages, but none to a
Maguire/Mcguire.
Good Luck,
