The death certificate itself should show her maiden name,. |

Unfortunately it is time for bed here (11:55 pm) or I would have taken a look for you, but if you have no idea when they married, I cant now. |

Maxine, as I explained earlier, it could be a long job to search for the marriage of Frank Powis to a Freda May somebody. The death cert info will not give you the maiden name. |

Second option to find her maiden name, it's your grandmother so her child (your mother or father) will have her maiden name on their birth certificate. |

Not impossible, but could be a long job given the time, you need to look for the marriage of Frank Powis by checking the BMD images quarter by quarter, year by year until you find a possible. |

Did she die after 1984 in England or Wales., ..if so we might be able to find a record quite easily. This should show her date of birth and biirthplace. |

Buy the marriage cert to Frank Powis, this will tell you her maiden name and her age plus (hopefully) the name of both their fathers. |
