Hi,

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

If you have the marriage cert for your grandparents does it give your grandmother's father's name?

Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a marriage of a Frank Edwards to a lady with the surname Fox other than one in 1926, Bury  ???

Perhaps your grandmother's mother was previously married and therefore married by her married name and not by her maiden name.

Your best option would be to purchase your grandmother's birth cert to enable you to progress with that line.

It doesn't help with your problem, but an Elizabeth Edwards (mother's m.n. Fox) was registered at the same time, so perhaps your grandmother was a twin.
