I have just received the marriage cert of my paternal grandparents.My grandmother i thought was born Daisy Parkinson,she married a Mckinnon,then my grandfather.The marriage cert says Daisy Parkinson widow,father's name John Flanaghan !!!
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated
Regards Teresa

When you say

The marriage cert says Daisy Parkinson widow,father's name John Flanaghan !!!

Who is the widow? or, did you mean to say Birth Certificate?

Sorry not making myself very clear,it's the section condition,he is stated as bachelor she widow.

There could be a couple of things here. She obviously married Mr Parkinson before your grandfather, but she might or might not have been born Flanaghan, and she may or may not have also married Mr McKinnon prior to Mr Parkinson. It may be that her own mother was widowed and remarried a Mr Flanaghan so that Daisy put him on her marriage certificate. What you really need to do is find the first marriage cert (Daisy to Mr Parkinson) and see what that says.

Sorry I wasn't all there either.

So on that basis she was born Daisy Flanagan and at some time had married a Mr Parkinson, who had died. If you could post some dates and locations then someone will have a look.

What year did Daisy marriage Mr Mckinnon and what was her age at that time.

There is a marriage between Daisy Parkinson and Gordon Mckinnon dec

1905 when i think she would have been about 19

Her 1905 marriage?

If she married a McKinnon before she married your grandfather, you should be looking for a marriage for a Daisy McKinnon.

Are you saying she was 45 when she married and then went on to have your dad?

Rose

My father was born in 1926 she married my grandfather in 1931,two months before my uncle was born.
Yes that is the marriage in Coventry.

Could she have come from Ireland and first married there.

You havnt put her age in 1931.

What does your uncles birth cert have for the mother's maiden name?

Christine

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?

Rose

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 !!!
