Well you could start by telling us her first name.

You would also need to search the BMD indexes for both marriages. Record any that match name-wise. Then look at what you have and if it doesn't make sense; ask some more.

sorry her first name is MARY ANN i have found one that might match but not sure as the surname is spelt CLOWES it is on freebnd  were she marruied a joseph morris  in stoke upon trent cant find his death so unless he died before 1909 it isnt the right one

Hi Sylvia

Did your grandmother have any children from the first marriage?  Just thinking that a birth certificate for any known children would give the father's name.

When did this CLOWES/MORRIS marriage that you mention take place?

Are there no other clues on the marriage certificate ie. were any of the witnesses her relatives?  What was her father's occupation?  Does it say whether the father was deceased or not in 1909?
