Just an update,received marriage certificate of Daisy and Gordon,father's name on that John Parkinson.I know that at least 3 children were born from this marriage, still on the hunt !!
Many thanks to everyone for their input
Regards Teresa

My 2nd cousin has sent me a copy of Georgina's BC and mother's name is Daisy Mckinnon formerly Parkinson,so am I right in assuming that her maiden name was Parkinson?
My thoughts are that she was involved with George Simpson and either divorced him or just ran away !

You are right Kay the Flanaghan is slightly perplexing !! Thankyou and everyone else for their input,will keep you updated
Regards Teresa

Hi Teresa

That BC of your aunts confirms what was suspected,by 1924 she had left her husband,but the child would still be registered in her mothers name/or surname,,,if she had a child or two when she met your grandad then it was probally easier to say she was a widow.

There isnt any divorce showing on National Archives but only a % are shown anyway.
But where the Flanaghan is from is a mystery..perhaps her mother remarried and stepdads name took or perhaps the other way round?

The BC of my aunt Kay,does not have father's name,just blank. My dad born in 1926 was also born in Fulham but his BC states george Alfred Simpson as his father,though I do wonder ...

The child Violet Gladys bapt to Daisy and Gordon McKinnon 1906,Gordon was a milkman and they lived at,87 Sulgrave Rd Shepherds Bush,there were no more bapt to this couple listed.

Gordon L McKinnon died 1940 in Fulham age given 56,,so24/ 25 in 1905,,

,,Georgina was bn Fulham also,I would say its looking likely that this could be the right trail.
She would have been late 40s to have children round early 1930s,,it did happen and was quite common.

Perhaps the BC of your aunt could reveal she had left Gordon McKinnon by 1924?so decleared herself a widow they were possibly divorced and she kept it a secret.

I really have no idea Kay.There is a Georgina Mckinnon born 1924 mother Parkinson and this I suspect to be my aunt, who until very recently I'd always assumed she was a Simpson same as my dad,but I can't believe that she was married in 1905 and Georgina was the first child of that union !

Were any more children named McKinnon?

as Violet Gladys McKinnon was born and baptised in London PR 1906 to Daisy Parkinson and Gordon L McKinnon.

Violet G looks to have married iSurrey way.

Sorry about my broken post,pressed the wrong button !!

She died Kay in 1955 aged 70

my grandfather died ,they returned to the Hertfordshire area which would make sense if she had been born round about

Hi Teresa,

When did Daisy die and what age was given this may determine her age in 1905....

I have sent for the marriage certificate of Daisy to Gordon Mckinnon to see if this helps solve my mystery !! I can't see how she could have been married before this one as she was only 20 in 1905.
If she is the Daisy Parkinson born in Bedford her father's name was john,so maybe the registrar at the marriage to my grandfather misheard Flanaghan for Parkinson !!!

Teresa,

Going from your other thread it would appear Daisy was still married when she married in 1931. She wasn't a widow at all because her first husband didn't die until 1940. Might explain why she moved to the Midlands and used her maiden name for her marriage.

Someone posted the 1911 census details earlier but then deleted. Where is she listed as being born?
