Listen carefully, you'll probably hear ghostly sniggering. I can't find them in the census on Anc or FMP.
I've found Violet Elfrida's birth (1906, Wrexham). There's also a Violet Evelyn from Lincs, so it's hard to tell which was the Violet E who married In Essex in 1926. (I thought Violet would be the easiest one).
John Leonard was b. 1909 Oswestry. Nothing else.
Edward J born 1911 Oswestry (not to be confused with Edward Geoffrey of Shropshire or Edward G of Surrey) so they really should be around there for the census...

Found most of them in the 1911 by just searching "Violet, 1906, Wrexham).
This is Anc's transcription with my version (in brackets) if it's different (handwriting is "interesting":
Precella Morehall (Precilla Morrhall) - wife
Violet Elfreda Morehall (Morhall) - daughter
John Leonard Morehall (Morrhall) - son
No sign of John snr.
Anc links Violet to the Violet E Moorhall who married Herbert H Tims in 1930 in Ellesmere
