There is a marriage 1924 Jun Q West Derby between Christina Mccann and Charles Donald
I have also found a Christina McCann b Liverpool 1882 Mar Q daughter of William and Mary A McCann but she would seem too old (43) to have married in 1924.I suggest you get the marriage cert which will tell you ages and parents names and then they can be traced on censuses

This MIGHT be her birth, but you need to get the marriage certificate which should give her age (dob)

My nan is Mary Donald (Married name Meredith) 13.11.1926, born in Liverpool. She doesn't remember any dates!

This looks like their marriage.
If you buy the certificate it should have their fathers names and hopefully their ages so we can look for a birth.
