Thank you Graham, that's what has probably happened. I will just delete them.

When you sign up for FB it accesses your list of contacts on your email account. If you are on your daughters' lists of contacts, then FB will know. That is why they send you emails. They think you might want to join because your daughters have.

I have deleted the messages. My daughters are both on Facebook but I don't think they would dare create an account for me without permission!

Many thanks for your reply DetEcTive.

If you never use FB nor to your knowledge joined it, just delete and block any further ones from that address. What ever you do, don't follow a link!

Do you have relatives who use it? Maybe they created an account in your name to share photos they might post.

I keep getting messaged on my e-mail saying 'Phyllis you have unread messages on Facebook which will be deleted soon. '
As far as I am aware I have never joined Facebook so where is this coming from - a spam?

Many thanks for all replies, if any
