Find Ancestors

Hi, I am currently tracing my father side of the family ... At this stage all I have is my grandparents names:

Violet Winifred Davis
DOB 20/10/1907 Islington
Died 31/12/1980
Father: Robert Davis

George Alfred Rolinson
DOB: 27/02/1911
Died: 14/03/1984

Any information of Violet parents & siblings would be greatly appreciated. I would like to get in touch with any relatives of Violets siblings to see if they have any old photos or information about my grandparents etc as I don't have anything ?

Aslo, I have Violet's fathers Driver Licence dating back to 1915. Is there anything I could use from this to help in searching for other information about my great grandparents??

Regards
Clare

HOUSEHOLD DAVIS VIOLET WINIFRED F 1908 3 Wandsworth London

but there is not a 'Robert' with her.

You would have to buy credits and look at the record to see who the family is.

Their birth certificates should give you both parents full names..

Thank you Julie for the search info; greatly appreciated. I did already have George parents names. I was hoping someone may possibly have information on my grandmother's siblings but as you say I would need to buy credits to look at the 1911 census.

Thanks again, Clare.

VICCIwasVictoria, the only information from the drivers licence is the name Robert Davis; drivers licence number + 3 different addresses. No Date of birth is listed. I don't have any other information about Violet parents except that her father was Robert Davis & that she was possibly one of 7 children .....

The information about George Alfred Rolinson I have is yes had one brother named Sidney born 1913 died approx. 2004. Parents were Ralph Douglas Rolinson approx born 1875 & Elizabeth Ada Murfitt approx born 1877; they married 04/04/1909.

I have the death certificates of George Alfred & Violet Winifred Rolinson + marriage certificate of Ralph & Ada Rolinson.

That is all the info I have of either side of my fathers. Really wanting to find out if there were other siblings etc
