You are probably aware of these facts:

Name: Violet M Savin
Mother's Maiden Surname: Milam
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1947
Registration district: Reading
Inferred County: Berkshire, Oxfordshire
Volume Number: 6a
Page Number: 256 (

Name: Violet M Savin
Birth Date: abt 1948
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1954
Age at Death: 6
Registration district: Reading
Inferred County: Berkshire
Volume: 6a
Page: 85

As her mothers name is shown on the registration of Violet's birth your approach should now be to find the marriage of her parents and work from that information.

A useful site for your research will be www.freebmd.org.uk

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Go to :-
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
There seem to be six siblings of Violet.
Now go to "search trees" on Genes and other geneology sites,enter the names and try and make contact with people.
Violet is on one tree here.

Thanks for your help. I was trying to trace Violet's family. I used to walk to school with her every day. She was knocked down by a car on 23rd December 1953' the car failed to stop. The family had moved away prior to her death and I just wondered what became of them.
