Ive obtained the death certificate for Agnes Blair ferguson born 1926, died 1979, and it states her occupation as a clerkess. Which ties in with jennys birth mother who worked in london in an office. So im pretty sure this is her.
The informant on the death cert is one Francis Chtistie of 39 mcAllister Ave Airdrie. Could this be a relative, or is it just the person who reported the death.

No, the informant doesn't have to be a relative.
Usually there's some explanation in brackets after the informant's name, to say who the person is. Relative, landlord, doctor, whatever.

Angela,
Who were Agnes's parents named on her death cert?

That's who I suspected that Agnes's parents would be.

As Joy's mum said that she came from Perth, I think it may have been a white lie with a grain of truth

Agnes's own mother, Agnes Blair was born in Lanarkshire but her mother ( Joy's great grandmother) was from Perth
