How to find great-great grandmother's maiden surname Penelope Parker

[anto97]

Ok, so what do you know for absolutely sure? Even if it is starting with what might seem like pretty obvious things - such as when and where was your grandfather born?  What were his parents called?

My grandfather was born in 1937 in Greece (his parents lived there for a couple of years). His parents name were James Blackwell and Theresa Parker.

Just for the record there is an army record for James Parker and his address at the time was given as c/o Bill Parker 41 Dishley Street, Leominster.

Completely leftfield here, but there is a marriage between a Penelope Parker and a Henry Soar in Doncaster in 1914.  I haven't investigated it fully, but is it possible that Penelope remarried?

So, may that James Parker be James Blackwell's father-in-law?

So, if she remarried why didn't she changed her surname?

I should have phrased things better, sorry!  Are you certain that Penelope Parker died in Leominster, or did you just find that Penelope Parker because she was the only one who died around the right time?  Is it possible that if Mr Parker died before c. 1908, Penelope remarried?

I sure that she didn't get married again. She was under 65 at the time of death. That matched pretty much with the Penelope Parker I found in freebmd, but the "Leominster" part is the one making me have second thoughts.

I think we have pretty much established that the Penelope Parker who died in 1942 in Leominster was born, raised, married and died in Leominster, so I would have thought that the Leominster connection would have been relatively well known if that was the correct Penelope Parker.

If the correct Penelope Parker, is the one who died in Leominster in 1942, aged 62, then why can't I connect her to a husband named Henry and a daughter named Theresa?

Are there no indexed records or I miss some info?
