I can't find a Violet Saul in the 1911 census. What other info do you have? What does the W stand for?

You could, of course, buy her birth certificate to get her parents names - then look for the family in 1911!

Corinne Report 4 Jun 2010 16:02

I think you need to get your grandparents' marriage certificate; this will give their fathers' names.

Birth Date: 4 Aug 1904
Death Registration Month/Year: Feb 1984
Age at death (estimated): 79
Registration district: Halifax
Inferred County: Yorkshire
Volume: 4

So from her date of birth there, that birth posted earlier certainly looks like hers. That saying it doesn't explain where the family are in 1911!!!
