You can do this without setting up a new account. By following these steps, people can search for you by your married name & by your maiden name.

1) Log into your facebook account
2) go to the Settings link (in the top right hand corner)
3) Select Account Settings from the drop down list
4) Under the Settings Tab, at the end of Name select Change
5) Put your maiden name in the box Full Former Name:

This will help people find you by your maiden name, but it will still show your married name if people search for you. So people will have to recognize you by your profile pic.

Hope this helps.
