On FreeBMD her mother's maiden name is Pownall so possibly illegitimate,

You would need to buy her birth cert to see her mums name and the address she was born may help identify her mum on the 1939 register

That thread has the header "annie ARMSTRONG nee POWNALL of liverpool around 1920" appears to suggest this is the marriage of the mother?

Marriages Dec 1929 (>99%)
Armstrong Thomas Pownall Liverpool 8b 209
Pownall Annie Armstrong Liverpool 8b 209

EDIT as I see you have already replied on that ( assuming that's you posting) ?, did you buy the birth certs/marriage cert and what was the outcome please?

Thank you for your messages.

Spooky indeed Amanda.......

Are you looking for Margaret's death?

If so......Who did Margaret marry??

Did she marry under the surname of Pownall??

Or did she marry under the surname of her stepfather Armstrong??

When and where did the marriage take place??
