Welcome to the boards Hine.

Can you give your grandmother's name and approximate date of birth and someone will try to help. When was she married and who to?

FreeBmd only holds the BMD indexes for England and Wales.
People born in Scotland will be on http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/
Familysearch.org have a number of records for Ireland.

England/Wales civil registration didn't start until 1837 but birth reg wasn't compulsory until 1876
Scotland's started in 1855
Not sure when Irelands started!

One thing...........don't assume that a birth was in the same area as the marriage...........it may not be

Was she Violet Turnbull married in 1949 in Westminster ?

You have her in your tree with approx year of birth as 1929 but someone else has her with a middle name which is not showing on the marriage index
