Hi yes there is a child Bernard Carter born in 1939 . I was trying to find out if he had a child with viola. Bernard Carter never met Thomas Carter as he disappeared.

The only Thomas Carter b 1896, d 1957, died in the Frome, Somerset RD

Viola's death would appear to be in the Mendip, Somerset RD

I can't see a probate for him, but using this site

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk

there is a possible probate for Viola. You can obtain the will through that site and it may mention family.

Hi rose he is supposed to be buried at calne in wiltshire . I went to the cemetery and could not find anything. Thomas Henry Carter was born in 1896 and married marion Sewter in 1926 then viola challenger in 1941. He was divorced from marion in 1941 and married the same year to viola. i was told he was buried in Calne . I have no evidence of it.

Using the same free site, and inputting the surname and mothers maiden name under births, there is a possible 1948 birth in Dover RD

Possible birth in 1948.

Where did Thomas die as I'm not seeing his death under Thomas H Carter?
