Hi all, further to Sue's response: > A Violet Gladys BUTLER married James FISHER 1921 Reg. 12967.

This info tends to reinforce the need to acquire the marriage cert. from 1921 and hints strongly at the early marriage of Violet Gladys BUTLER to James FISHER as posted by Sue. Checking the death indexes - there's a chance these are the children of the Violet of interest: Surname: FISHER Given Names: Donald Roy Father: Fisher Jas Geo Mother: Violet BUTLER Death Place: BENDIGO Age: 23 Year: 1946 Reg Number: 22496 Event: D Surname: FISHER Given Names: Stanley James Father: Fisher James G Mother: Violet Mar BUTLER Death Place: SYDE Age: 45 Year: 1968 Reg Number: 3996 Obviously if Violet had children from say the age of 18 to 35, remembering she was born in 1905, there is a very good chance that some of Violet's children are still alive - Violet doesn't seem to show up in the death indexes up to 1985 - which really isn't surprising - people live well past 80 years of age ... Really - I think it would be best to get hold of the marriage cert. and then try to locate more info... good luck Robert ps. this may be a national archives reference to one of Violet's children being enlisted in the armed forces: > FISHER STANLEY JAMES : Service Number - VX106698 : Date of birth - 27 Apr 1922 : Place of birth - BENDIGO VIC : Place of enlistment - ROKEBY VIC : Next of Kin - FISHER JAMES > Barcode MvS wrote: > Blank > Hi List, > > Would someone kindly be able to look up a marriage for this lady and perhaps > children. > > Information below is all I have. > > > Given Names: Violet Gladys > Event: B > Sex: > Spouse Surname/Father: Silvester Walt > Spouse Gvn Names/Mother: Mary Ann MORGAN > Age: > Age Code: > Birth Place: BENDIGO > Death Place: > Year: 1905 > Reg.
