What is the correct LNAB for this profile?

I created this profile from a marriage date and name in a family bible.  I assumed the LNAB was Thickstun, which name is reflected on the marriage record.  However, I have discovered that Thickstun may be a former married surname and the LNAB should be Miller.  I have not been able to find a birth record, but I did find a census record with her name as Miller, daughter of John Miller, when she was 12 years old.  I only have access to Family Search, and haven't found any other reference there, aside from census records after she married my relative, Frank Pierson.  Can anyone find any other information on whether her LNAB should be Miller?  I appreciate any help...

Does this record belong to her? If it is her, you have her father listed, her name when she married Frank Pierson and the statement that she was widowed at this marriage:

"New York, New York City Marriage Records, 1829-1938", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24HR-8NS : 22 August 2022), Frank Pierson and Josephine Thickstun, 1892.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24HR-8NS

Edit --

Oh I see, you have this record on her profile already. In that case that is a good representation since her father's name is on it and you have the census record. A record of her birth in church records or otherwise might be a long time coming.

Thank you so much Dina...the marriage record I used from Family Search has been retired, and it did not reflect her widowhood.  The record you found is the answer I needed.  Good job!!!
