Violet Kemp Horne is on several Australian Electoral rolls in the 1930's/40's añd then there is a death in 1946 in Australia
I havent got worldwide access so cant see any details.

But seems that is a good lead.

Excellent  - father's name Thomson confirms we are on the right track!

1881 Scottish census has a Violet R Thomson, bn Renfrewshire of right age with parents Robert and Agnes - transcription only, so maybe middle initial mightbe K.

She appears on a public member tree, just as Violet Thomson.... And the person there has recorded that she married a HORNE!
No further details that I can see  - but would be worth contacting them to ask where they got that from,  maybe just family hearsay as there are no details, and also to ask if they have her birth cert etc, if so is her middle name Kemp

Two public trees on Ancestry have George Lamont Horn marrying an Ellen Linfield in 1933 in East Preston Sussex and then his death in 1978 in Hove.

I cant see any children named Horn with mother's mn Linfield. However, it could be a second marriage in which case the maiden name will be different.

Guess that KentishChris has got George Lamont Horn's marriage and children, if George LH  is his great-grandfather - but worth posting anyway.

Well, hope KentishChris has a good night's sleep and wakes up refreshed ready to get to grips with what has been found about great-great granny, Violet.

William Nixon Horn(e) remains a mystery at present. But hopefully if KentishChris can followup the Australian records for Violet it will reveal if William is with her in Oz.

I  see 3 possible scenarios - there are probably millions more-
1) William Nixon Horn was born and always lives abroad (I am speaking from England, so I mean not in England), our scottish lass Violet goes abroad, meets him, marries him abroad, she comes back to UK on occasions, and comes back to have their baby. They end up in Australia.
2) Similar to above to start with, Violet marries Wm Nix H abroad. The marriage breaks down, she comes back in early 1902, has baby George by someone else, but as a married woman registers him as her husbands. She goes off to Australia alone (ie not with Wm Nix H)
3) Violet is never married to Wm N H, but has baby George by him, indeed he might even be the Wm Nissen Horn that we rejected. She uses the title Mrs Horne, but isnt. And she goes off to Australia, and Wm Nissen H probably knows nothing about her


Just some thoughts.

I see KentishChris has other threads on this family, perhaps he could add links so that we dont repeat ourselves.

Wow!!!  Thank you so much everyone for all your help, all while I was sleeping haha!

One of the public trees with George Lamont Horn and Ellen Linfield is mine.
I cannot go further down to my grandfather as he is still alive, but he the child of them.

When looking at the birth certificate closely, I can confirm that it is actually Kemp, not Hemp. (Weird writing on this certificate!)

I'm just wondering if they are abroad, why would George remain in the UK and live there until he dies?
However, the earliest date I can find for him is the marriage date to Ellen Linfield, in 1933.
I do know everything about George after 1933.

Unfortunately I cannot find anything else on the certificate that is out of the ordinary.
I've searched the address that she is apparently living in, but nothing has come up.

I have just found something a little bit strange though...
I have found a Violet K Thomson b.1871, leaving Liverpool on 27 Apr 1896, arriving in Valparaiso, Chile.
I have also found a Mrs Violet K Horn, leaving Valparaiso, Chile, arriving in Liverpool on the 16 Mar 1902.
Is this possible?
