Extract from Epsom and Ewell History Explore:
In June 1909 Violet (Violet Carnegie Anstey) married Talbot Stanley Dean-Pitt. Effectively the marriage lasted just a few months and in the following February Violet was applying for restitution of conjugal rights as the necessary rigmarole preceding a divorce. She was saved further proceedings and became a widow when Dean-Pitt apparently died in 1912 (in the 1911 census she was ostensibly living alone at a boarding house in South Eaton Place, Belgravia, working as a dressmaker's model). Mr Dean-Pitt had been domiciled in Argentina and played a lot of polo. An item in the Daily News (Perth, Western Australia) of 5 August 1909 described the charming wedding, which had occurred after a 3-week engagement following a 2-3 day courtship, and informed readers that the bridegroom was obliged to leave England almost immediately to deal with his Argentinian interests, leaving his wife behind. In 1913 Violet 'quietly' married Army officer Geoffrey Delves Broughton and that seems to have held firm until her death in 1938.
