Hi Joyce
To search for this information would involve a 1/4 by 1/4 search for each year of both the marriages & death registry & would involve you buying a pile of certs some of which would not relate to your family.
I have started this search on my own family but we have an unusual name & we were the only family to use the name in the country. To give you an idea, so far it's taken me 2 evenings to do this searching.
I'm so sorry

Hi Joyce,

Edward Henry born Stoke Damerel June quarter 1892 died in the same quarter - Ref No.5b 215.

Ernest Gordon born Stoke Damerel June quarter 1893 died in the December quarter 1894 aged 1 - Ref No.5b 223.

I will look further for Violet and Muriel.

Regards

Carol
