The reason I put the Violet A Taylor marriage was that I have examples where I have been looking for a maiden name, but the lady was remarrying. The childrens birth records show her original maiden name, but obviously her marriage shows her first husbands name.

There was this:

Births Jun 1893 Morpeth 10b 401

Taylor Violet Alice

And I did find a violet Taylor on the 1901 census in the area who had a younger brother William.

If they lived in Trimdon or Wingate you won't be able to find them yet on the 1911 census as Durham is one of the counties that isn't on just yet. I'm waiting for Durham and Northumberland to be added myself.

It just says on the 1911 census site that Durham and Northumberland are two of the counties that are "coming soon" - whatever that means!!
