Looking forward to it!

Thanks Mel. I'm totally confused now...doesn't take much these days. Will have to sit down with a cuppa and look through all the info you all have given me and see what I can make of it while we wait for the certificate. Thanks all for your help. Will be in touch again soon.

I agree with Jan.

It does look like they named their children after their fathers names as William and Elizabeth their second and third child could be after her parents so I was wondering if Alfred's father was also Alfred??

There is this one on the 1881 whose father is a farmer and they would have Traction Engins on farms in those days.

This is only a possible and you would still have to buy their marriage cert to find out who Alfred's father was.

Christine, apart from the location of Farnborough there is no evidence that this is your relative in 1901, though he might be. There are several other possibilities including a couple of Alfred E. Harrisons in Birmingham on census reports. I can't see one where the occupation resembles that in 1911. . You need to hold off till you get his marriage cert.
Jan

Thanks fairy godmother.

Looking through my friends paperwork, Alfred Edward H. died in 1913, a fall at work, age 38!!! With a new baby by the looks of it. Edmundstown LLantrisant S.Wales. Shame.
Jan So he could have been in the army do you think?

Hi Andy, So what was at Farnbrough in 1901 or didn't it exist. Thanks for the info

Let us know what the marriage cert tells you. Remember they married in West Bromwich so unlikely they met in Farnborough, even if that is your Alfred (I wonder what Eliza was doing there!).
Jan

The RAF didn't exist in 1901. Royal Flying Corps formed 1914?

Andy

Thanks Jan. Looks as if they met while he was in Farnbrough.

Checked for Eliza (birthplace is Camberley by the way) but doesn't really help -

Flick, Thanks for that. Farnborough sounds as if he could have been in the RAF

Thanks Jan for your help. I am helping a friend with this. Will get her to order a certificate.

1901 perhaps? Supposition based on eldest child's birthplace

I think you might need a marriage cert. There are several possibles on census reports so impossible to find him without a bit more info. There seem to be 2 born Aston 1875!
Jan

Thanks Brummiejan for your help

1881 census is FREE to ALL

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp

And on Ancestry

Have you looked on freebmd for a birth registration? The cert would give full parental info, to ensure that you follow the correct line.........

Better still, buy the marriage cert.............if he knew his father's details, they will be recorded.
