Applying for mortgate - debts in maiden name not on credit file

Hi all, apologies if i'm going over an old thread here but I couldn't find anything recent.
I want to apply for a mortgage and have just obtained a copy of my credit file. I married last year and the only thing showing on my credit report is my bank account, credit card, and register of electors confirmation (as I have changed all of these details to my married name). However, I have a few credit cards and a loan (none defaulted) in my maiden name which aren't coming up. Are the debts in my maiden name likely to show up when I apply for a mortgage? Should I apply for a credit report in my maiden name too?
Thank you in advance.
