Find Ancestors

Absolutely stuck with this one. I was told she was born in 1905, in Coome, Cornwall. I know she married James Cock(s), and I have their children's names.
But I have no idea who her parents, or siblings were. Two Violets appear on the 1911 census, both in Cornwall, so I haven't gotten any further there.
Apparently she married before James, to a man called Jack Samson, but on the marriage record I found for her and James her name was Eddy still.
Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Eddy Violet - Cocks Penzance 5c 365

And all the othe ones listed!!

I know it's not the Violet Eddy connected to the Dimmick family. I and another member already had a bit of a scare thinking that Violet might have had an affair and a different family! But we established they were not the same woman :)

Don't know if this is any good? You do still need the marriage certificate though.

Register notes:

Yes I had found that record, but until I can definitely link it to my Violet I hesitate in going further. Looks like I'll have to fork out for the certificate, haha.

Are yu certain that the Violet Eddy that married Jack is yours?

That's what my Dad told me, Violet was his grandmother, but there seems to be a lot of uncertainty surrounding her. And I haven't found any marriage record between the two.

Emily.

OK, well do you have YOUR grandparents marriage cert ( come back a generation), presumably a child of Violet & either Jack or James

Violet and James' child, my Dad might have it somewhere with Nana's possessions, but I'm sure he would've dug it out already when I grilled him with questions about his family :)

Emily.

Your dads birth deffo lists his Mothers Maiden name as EDDY , does it?

Please clarify..
You said Violet was your fathers Gran

then you imply he was their child

which?

Well all of James and Violet's childrens' birth records I've found (I haven't seen any certificates) list their mother's name as Eddy. They weren't married until after half of their children were born.
Violet and James had Edgar, who was my dad's father.

Emily.

who was their first child? name, born where & when?

your grandad was Edgar Samson? Yes?
