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.

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

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

looks like they could have had another child called violet named after the one that died in 1910

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
