If family members cannot recall exact date of death trawl through this site and look. Every name listed. It will give age of deceased and if born before 1901 someone will look on the censuses for you.

This looks like her death:

2nd quarter 1950 Melhuish, Minnie aged 54 Pontypridd 8b 776

The marriage certificate will tell you her father's name and occupation:

1st quarter 1920 Melhuish, Albert G. Short Pontypridd 11a 1100


Do you know her twin's name? It would make it easier to find her birth. These are all the births on freebmd for Minnie Shorts in likely years:
