Can you give us any idea of where they lived, please?
Or when they married?
What was Violet's maiden surname?

Do you have him on any census?

What do you know about him already and what is it you would like to find?

Where were these people born or living?

Thanks a lot ArgyllGran - I had in fact found Violet and George in the 1911 C, I then searched births and deaths hoping to find an offspring/death - no joy.

Thanks Mike - I have the marriage certificate of Hunt/Snow - Violet in fact is my grandmother's sister.
