You might care to edit the child Violet’s birth year

Easy to find MMN. Look for the birth of Violet or any of the subsequent children on GRO website, about which I am sure you must know

There are a lot of births for that name in Yorkshire. Your best bet is to buy the marriage certificate and see if it gives his father's name which would help find them in a census.
