Although you only need to show last two years cohabitation documents, You seems OK with the mentioned documents.

The cohibitation requirment is set to proof that both you and your hubby are living under one roof.

So for that, you need to proof that your hubby have the same address for the past two years as of you. Both of you might have changed 12 difference addresses. However, for all the previous addresses you must show that both of you remained under one roof.

The proof of cohabitation documents could be in your name, your hubby's name or both of your's name. But the address should be same.

Now for the maiden part of it...if you were living with the same person before official marriage is conducted even those documents will be OK. Rule will remain same...one roof for both of your. Although UKBA will only consider the documents that are after your official marriage date or since the day spouse or dependant visa is issued.

I hope it is clear now...
