Can anyone find Violet?

[lookingforthem]

Hi. Is anyone able to find Violet Power? She was baptised in March 1911 while her family were living in Sultan street Camberwell. She is not on the census with her family and neither is her sister Nellie and half sister ( my grandmother) Edith Ada Bolt.
I cannot find birth record for Violet, or anything really. Seems she vanished.
Her parents were George William Power and Edith Martha (Southgate).
Her mother died in 1914 and my grandmother came to Australia to be with her elder sister. Nellie came later. No sign of Violet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you😃

Where did you find the baptism?

 

[lookingforthem]

The baptism was found by a relative on ancestry. It would have been in Camberwell Surrey. The family lived in Sultan street Camberwell at the time of baptism. They were there in 1911 census, but no Violet. I couldn't find a death.

This is strange, are all the children in the census from a previous marriage or his present marriage? I am a bit confused with him saying he has been married 11 years and has 4 children and no children who have died and 4 are listed. Does this tie up with your findings?

 

[lookingforthem]

Yes. Edith was a widow when she married George. The children from her first marriage should have the name Bolt but are listed as Power. It say 4 children to George Power but there should be six. Mary, Annie, Nellie and Violet are the girls plus 2 boys.
I have a photo of Mary,Annie and Nellie together but no Violet. My grandmother was especially close to Nellie which is why she came out to Australia to be with my grandmother and her older sister Louise.
Louise Edith and Louise,plus a brother Walter, were in and out of the workhouse on and off and I know Edith and Nellie were there in 1912. Their mother was sick and died in 1914

So what are the names of the children from her first marriage so I can separate them a bit.

 

[lookingforthem]

The children to Edith's first marriage to Elisha Miller Bolt were>
William Bolt (killed in France)
Edward Miller Bolt
Louise
Walter
Edith Ada.

Power children were>
George William
Richard
Mary
Annie
Nellie
Violet

 

[lookingforthem]

Children to first marriage were William Bolt, Edward Miller Bolt, Louise Bolt, Walter Henry Thomas Bolt and Edith Ada Bolt.

Power children were Richard,George, Mary, Annie, Nellie and Violet

I find it very strange that there is no birth for her, is there for the other children?

It is all very strange. Can only think she was in the workhouse? No death either.

[lookingforthem]

Hi Ellie. thank you. Yes, Edith's first marriage was to Elisha Miller Bolt. I don't have the marriage cert for her marriage to George Power.
I will go for the birth certificate of Violet Marjorie and see if that is her.
I can only think that she was in the workhouse. My grandmother Edith Ada Bolt is not on the census either.
I wonder why George said he only had 4 children When there were 6.
Can you tell me where I can find workhouse records?

Hi. I was going to order this certificate but when I looked it up on gro it has got the wrong mother😪

 

[Ellie7]

You can add a name that it must have on the Request for a certificate or you can phone and speak to someone. Dont do it through Ancestry far to dear see GOV UK

 

[lookingforthem]

I looked on G.R.O but the mother's maiden name was not Southgate.
I am in Australia so won't phone🙂
