If you want to change the name on the Apple ID, log into your Apple ID using the link below. In the first section, click Edit. You should be able to change your name there.

Apple ID - Manage

You can't remove/change @iCloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com aliases. You can create a new alias using your married name to use for your iCloud emails.

iCloud - Create or change email aliases.

Try double clicking the Home button or swipe up from the bottom of the screen and swipe Safari upwards. Go to Settings/Safari and clear History and Website Data. Open Safari and test.
