Missing Women

In the Silmarillion, all noldorin kings and such high folk men and their sons are all precisely mentioned. But of women, not many are mentioned.
We know that Fëanor's wife was Nerdanel the Wise, Finarfin's wife was Eärwen of Alqualonde and Finwë's wifes were Míriel and Indis. (Correct me, if I make mistakes; it's been a while from my last Silmarillion-time...)
Who was the wife of Fingolfin? Or Orodreth? Or Celegorm? Or Fingon? They all have been recorded to have children, yet their wives are not mentioned. (Or at least in Silm or UT.)
They maybe didn't play a big part, but it would be still nice to know who they were.
