Violet Vivian Elliott Morris - great grandmother



This is our paternal great grandmother. We never met, neither did Dad meet her. She died 9 years before he was born. Violet Vivian Elliott Morris was born 12 May 1884 in Burketown, Qld. In 1903 she married Henry Cogger in Upper Macedon, Vic. They had four children, Eleanor (born 1905), Emilie (born 1907), Eric and Maurice (born 1908). Sadly, she died aged only 34 on 5 May 1919. She died of influenza during the 1919 pandemic. She was a stunner!
