I haven't been keeping up with all the data, but a tree on Ancestry has these for the children of Henry James Carter and Millie Elizabeth Hannaford:

Lucy Carter 1897–1974
May Carter 1899–1975
Winnifred Ann Carter 1901–1974
Gladys Carter 1902–1986
William Carter 1903–1989
Violet Carter 1906–1927
Henry Carter 1909–1958
Florence Carter 1910–2005

and then a second marriage for Henry in 1919 to Florence Ada Hobbs
There is a son Jack born to Henry and Florence in 1917.
---------------------------------------

I've no idea how accurate the tree is, but it may help.

I did notice that Violet died young which maybe why nobody has any memory of her.

Corrrr it's been a long hour! I have spoken to my great aunt Ann and read through everything you've all written which has been so confused but I'm finally understanding now. I'm just lost as to who Violet Carter is, that's all.

So you have me, Tasha. My dad Sean. Sean's dad is Graham. Now Grahans dad is Henry Thomas who married Mary Scorer (She then remarried after to a Bert Fisher)

Henry Thomas's parents is Henry James and Amelia Hannaford. Together they had Henry Thomas, Winifred, Gladys, Lucy, Florence and an unknown brother - the source being my great aunt.

From you guys, I've learnt Henry James was the son of Frederick and Elizabeth Ann or just Ann and together they had Frank, Emily, Henry James, John, Mary, Chas.

Frederick's parents was Henry (born 1816) and Mary. Together they had Charlies, John, Sarah, Emily, Frederick, Lydia, James, Sarah, George, Kaziah, Mary and Hannah.

That all makes sense doesn't it? Otherwise my brain will explode lol!

Thanks for all the help! Keep it coming if anyone has any more!

I think the confusion is...........

The 1911 census record posted for Henry Gas Carter....has been mis-transcribed on FMP.

The version I posted was from Ancestry and he is actually.....Henry JAMES Carter.

If you look at the image..........it reads........Henry Jas Carter.

Edit...........just checked it out on FMP.......and it definitely is a transcription error!
