Find Ancestors

Good afternoon,
A long shot question?
Are there any relatives out there please to Violet Hirst nee Walker, born 1895 in Sheffield, married Ernest Hirst in 1921 in Sheffield.

any relatives are not likely to see your posting - use the "Search" facility, top right hand corner of this page to discover if anyone else on this site is researching this family - if you find one then you have the option of contacting the tree owner through the site

It looks like Margaret (Wishing) herself is the only person with Violet in her tree - unless it's the same Violet in three other trees, with YOB given as 1898.

As they married in Ecclesall Bierley district, it may be safe to assume their children were born in same area.

In which case, they seem to have had a son in 1922, and a daughter in 1924.
Also a probable son born Sheffield 1927.

There are other possible births in Sheffield, in various years up to 1944.

Have you looked at those, Margaret, on FreeBMD? Or possibly you know all about their children in any case?

Is this Violet with siblings in 1901 and 1911 ? (Though there is more than one Violet Walker born in the area around the right year, per census records.)
