	Only Frederick W is on a tree on this site. Not sure how much the owners know because they have the incorrect birth year for Violetta. Rose

	If you have her address at the time you could contact the local library to look at old electoral rolls. This one is a possibility. Births Dec 1930 Turnbull Violet M Middlewood Middlesbro' 9d 962 Rose

	OK, putting it bluntly - are you Lynne? Or are you search FOR Lynne( on her behalf) Or are you Looking for Lynne ( looking to find her) You said just now ''I have just looked that one up (Medway) .'' What did you look up and where did you look it up?
Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 7,385 Send Message	Penny	Report	6 Oct 2011 17:23
	I dont think anyone will be able to identify her ''just like that''. Facts/suggestions might be made, some of which might take time to follow up, research before deciding right or wrong person.

	No All I was saying was the one born 1911 Medway married 1935 medway...so I doubt that she is the one you are looking for. There is a Violet marrying in 1953 in London that could be her perhaps??

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 46 Send Message	I cant find her on the 1911 Census...
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 18,798 Send Message	Margee	Report	6 Oct 2011 14:41
	If that's her death registration it gives birthdate as 1 Mar. 1911 so she should show up on the 1911 census which was taken 2 April. I don't have access myself.

	Are you looking for her because she had a child? Her maiden name will be on the birth registration. Is it Lynne? The mmn is Turnbull. Rose
