It took me ages to realise I'd actually found my aunt daisy on a census: she was actually Catherine, like her mother. Yours could be the same, or Daisy could be her second christian name. NB it can also be short for Margaret.

Hi , Dont discount your nan having another name as I searched for weeks for my nan (molly) and found her real name was Mary Alice.I knew her for 40 years and never knew her name.(neither did any other living family member) Good luck with your search. Denise.

Just because they lived in Isleworth you cannot assume that they died there. Could have been working away, or on Holiday. Sometimes we need to think outside the box.
