Have you seen the marriage of Viva F Beckwith-Speers or Viva F B Speers in Kensington in 1935 to Noel Govett?

He was from Cardiff apparently

Looks like she's with the same Speers family in 1921. Living in Cardiff. Her name is Viva on the census return. However, FindMyPast have transcribed it as "Pierce". 
Born 1908 in Leominster.

There's also another granddaughter with them. Adela Kathleen Speers, born 1912 in Cardiff.

MMN also Daniells (as per birth reg).

thank you for telling me about another mis-transcription, I sometimes assume that the individual just likes to fiddle with their name every 10 years!
