Looking at your grandmother's birth record, it indicates that her mother must have been born Agnes Campbell as it records the mother's maiden name. Also, is the name Flower rather than Flowers?
Don't feel you are bad at this, it takes time and everyone gets tied in knots! Hopefully that birth cert will sort some stuff out for you.

I would agree with Janet. The birth record should show mothers maiden
name as Pearson, not Campbell. But mistakes can happen.

Did your grandmother have any siblings?

Have you entered the names in the search trees facility at the top of the page? A few members have an Edwin Pearson c1849 in their tree.

I can't find any birth reference for Beryl Flower or Campbell in the right place or time frame.

Do you know when Beryl was born or who she married?

Are you sure Beryl's mum is the same person as your grandmother's mum? There is 10 years between them.
