He has 2 boys. The other Henry is the same as you, a Carter. I am the next. There are 3 boys before the next girl. Alfred, the next to me, is a butcher. George is working at a shipbuilders. Walter is working at a large wholesale warehouse. My next sister is Sarah, next is Albert and Mary Ann and the last is James. The other two was dead born. I hope now mother has quite finished.
