Could she have come from Ireland and first married there.

You havnt put her age in 1931.

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.

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

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

There is a marriage between Daisy Parkinson and Gordon Mckinnon dec

1905 when i think she would have been about 19

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

Chris

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.

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

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?

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
