I hope someone can help me in my search for Violet and Robert Morrison who were living in Vancouver in 1964. Before that they lived in Winnipeg. Robert was an accountant and they had no children as this was their second marriage.

Certainly need a little more info as Rosie said. There doesn't appear to be a record of Violet and Robert Morrison on Canada Voters Lists that I have seen so far.  :'(
