AnnMc - i was just wondering if you mean nothing found including Irish records?

The marraige cert is all i know about her so it is very possible that she was born in Ireland is there somewhere to check the records from there?

I would really like to find her death record so i know if her death could be the reason why my Grandad had children with another partner but I can't even find Violet's death?!

O'Hara is an Irish name--could Violet have been born in Ireland. It's possible that she may have gone to England for work like so many other Irish females.

I have the marraige certificate for my G Grandad Arthur Goodchild (1896-1963) from Grundisburgh Suffolk and Violet S L O'Hara, no one in my family has heard of Violet I only came across the marraige when i was trying to find the marraige between Arthur and my G Grandma.

The certificate says:
Violet was 22 at time of marraige on the 5th dec 1919 so birth is c1897,
her full name looks to be Violet Sybil Leminstow O'Hara (I'm not certain it is Leminstow as its unclear but it also appears to be the middle name of her father),
she was a spinster,
she lived The Avenue, Woodbridge, Suffolk at time of marraige,
her father looks to be Patrick Leminstow? (i can't read it clearly) O'Hara who was a farmer,

Can anyone help me find anything more about Violet?
i still can't find Violet on free BMD or family search
