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

beryl was born approc 1943 in stafford she married john p walsh in 1966

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?

my grandmother had at least 1 sister i know of called beryl

thanks for doing this and for the encouragement. definately flower as its in my adoption file and have confirmed it, cant wait for cert to come im really getting into all this geneaology lark!!!!

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 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?

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.

yes her parents are agnes pearson and charles flower thats as far back as i have got..... sorry im rubbish keep going in circles

Is this your Grandmother?

Births Jun 1933 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLOWER Margaret Campbell Derby 7b 921

will have to wait till i get the cert then i think really strange!! the pearson/cambell marraige must have ended by 1933 as thats when my nan was born and it showing as flower there

I've checked quarter by quarter for the Pearson/Campbell marriage from 1923 to 1933 and can't find one

this is my great gandparent havent got the cert yet but has been ordered but what with the post etc........ anyway! have found out agnes pearson was her birth name then she married a gentleman with the surname campbell but i havent got his first name she then re married charles flower havent got dates as that is as much info as i could possibly get from mmy birth mum

Croygal, can we come forward a little? Do you have the birth cert of your parent, so are certain of their names?
Jan

Sorry, I just can't find a marriage

croygal, if the people you are looking for were in manchester, look on the ukbmd site and look for the lancashire one,

Do these ring any bells?

If you send for Agnes and Charles marriage cert it will have both fathers names and occupations.

Or .......it will have fathers name left blank for Agnes father

Or...........it will have her stepfathers name and occupation.

Either of these will help you prove the Agnes found on the census is yours or not
