Pauline, for information yes Kings Norton is near Selly Oak, but the period of time you are looking at is that Smethwick was registered as Kings Norton (parish of Harborne). Selly Oak and Kings Norton now come under Birmingham.
Dont know if this helps

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.

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?

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

Who did Edna name as her father on her marriage certificate ?

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?
