Just leaving this as a thought, if the photo is not Violet, but her sister Genty there is a marriage , the two children of which would be around the right age for those in photo...remembering that two sisters might have looked very alike ?

I've come back to this death, as you mentioned that she may have died in the influenza epidemic, I think it might be worth a try?

I googled Genty Hope Romany Gypsy.
Ist result titled

Were are they? Romany Road
Click on and scroll down to 4 photos.

I might be seeing things but the bottom photo on left of Lady and 3 children bears a resemblence to the photo of Violet on Ancestry.

I put the photos on bottom line of computor and kept looking at them,my hubby also thought they were alike.

Hi Mary-Rose,I have looked at photos sorry to say they are not the same person,my cousin who I went to see yesterday is a lady named Jean Matthews,who has made numerious comments on Romany Road,and put in a lot of photos on there,
Rose I have checked out the Violet death you put on for 1919,it could be her the only dout is it says abt 21,our Violet in question would of been 24,I know they made many a mistake with things in the old days,another I found which I thought may of been her daughter that died at about the same time was a Violet S Green 1918 December,also West Ham,aged 4 years old.???

I think the best chance you have is to get that cert and hope the death was registered by someone in the family?

Unless you come across anyone else connected to the family who might have more info, which does sometimes happen,
