Sorry Dawn, but I am new to Rootschat and it is not clear on how to do a general post. I had looked at the help pages, but they don't show how to do this. As I am using my tablet there is no way of copying/pasting a URL.
Answering Carole's message, the info you give is all correct. However We believe that Moncrieffe is a fictitious name. Viola was actually born as Violet Ruth Gunthorpe in 1892 in Herefordshire although she and her family were living in London in the 1911 Census.
My postings on Rootschat are a total long shot as we can find no trace of either Viola/Violet or her son Brian George from 1925, although her husband (at the time) filed for divorce in 1940, the decree absolute was issued in January 1941 quoting the grounds as desertion for longer than 3 years. I would imagine that she would have had to have the papers served to her so that the divorce could be granted (I have never been divorced so dont know the practicalities). Unfortunately, as far as we are aware, the case files have not survived.
