Smith is a very difficult name to research.

There were a number of Violet Smiths registered about that time. Do you know if Violet had a second Christian name?

If the family moved around a lot it is possible they did not register births and possibly avoided the census collectors in 1911.
There is a family history society for this group www.rtfhs.org.uk

Discrepancy in ages between 1939 and marriage cert will cause problems

Have you done anything about looking for birth info and/or 1911 census?

Park Gate is a locality in the Borough of Fareham[1] in Hampshire

My mother is nearing her 80th birthday and I am trying to trace her mothers family.
Violet Smith was born Jun 1903 (from 1939 register). No idea where. On her marriage at Bishops Waltham, Hants in 1923, aged 23years, her father noted as William Smith deceased. Violet married Frank Gritt. Violet died in 1957 and is buried at Fawley, Hants.
My mother Margaret is the last living child of Frank and Violet . She said her mum said she had no family. There was talk from older aunts about a brother of Violets called David and the area of Park Gate, Hants.
