Maybe this is Robert? Cleethorpes is in Grimsby reg district:

Apart from the ones on the 1911 census, there are these three:



CROFT, HARRY KIRK
GRO Reference: 1903 S Quarter in GRIMSBY Volume 07A Page 635

And his death:
Deaths Jun 1904 (>99%)
CROFT Harry 0 Grimsby 7a 361

CROFT, VIOLET KIRK Order
GRO Reference: 1909 M Quarter in GRIMSBY Volume 07A Page 558


CROFT, HARRY KIRK Order
GRO Reference: 1914 J Quarter in GRIMSBY Volume 07A Page 1155

So that makes 8 children by 1911, with one deceased, as the census states.

Harry 1914 hadn't been born at the time of 1911 census, obviously.



EDIT:

Or two deaths ??

Deaths Mar 1910 (>99%)
Croft Violet 1 Grimsby 7a 377

Not above Violet, different Parents on Baptism below, Burial with same Address.

(if anything else on there, could be a Burial for Mabel perhaps)

Thank you to all <3

So there were at least two Croft / Kirk families in the Grimsby reg district.

As Chris says, the 1909 (actually 18/12/ 1908) - 1910 Violet was not the child of Mabel & William.

Freereg doesn't show a baptism for the 1911 Violet, but chances are she was the "replacement" of the one who died, and therefore also not Mabel & William's child.

Mona Phyllis is also not their child - parents Harrison and Jane, same as for Violet.
