Mum was Dad's second wife. His first wife died during WW2, I'm not sure if her cause of death was the result of enemy bombing or illness. If she had lived I probably wouldn't have.
I suppose it isn't surprising that Dad didn't keep any pictures of her although I don't think Mum would have minded. Dad died when I was eight so all I have is a death certificate and what I've been able to find using on line and other family history resorces.
No pictures that I can find, a pity as I'm curious about what she looked like. RIP Violet.
I always wonder when people talk about various injustices done to their ancestors, slavery, transportation, Highland clearances, war, industrial revolution, etc. if they realise that without them, they as individuals may not exist.
