Do you have the marriage cert, Pauline?
Is there any more information on it than you've posted?

Pauline

Pauline Report 22 Feb 2014 22:44

Mike , sorry over posted you. Maybe I should look for sister/brothers with that mothers name, tough if they were older, then maybe mother not shown, as | think I may have found Daisy Is K Norton near Selly Oak where marriage took place?

i don't have Marriage Cert, info from her daughter in law, who may have it. I remember going to the wedding though!! I was VERY young, but have seen pic of me there.
think I will go with the Thompson one. Daisy may have been named Margaret, but she did definatley have a sister of that name Her husband was my mothers brother, so I did not know all her family
Thanks all for the help. I will delve closer with the info given

Pauline - if Edna Elsie is an aunt is that by way of her having married an uncle, i.e. one of your parent's siblings?

Mike Yes right couple

i think "Daisy" was really edith mary b1909, as mother was Edith. probably called her Daisy as a nick name
Thanks once again all.
I have looked on Ancestry" free " for this weekend, so very usefull, as can't afford another site
i will look further at her family now, as all have passed away sadly
Yes was my mothers brothers wife, so I was very close to her, but in those days I would never have thought that a wonderfull thing like the internet, would come along , so never thought to ask details of older relatives, hence I want my granchildren to know about their family tree,before I go.
