Find Ancestors

I am also curious about this child

Births Mar 1906
South Joseph Henry Lambeth 1d 319

who died two years later in Lambeth, the same quarter as the elder Joseph South ...

that Alfred had no brothers ( I checked 1871, Joseph Henry and Rosetta had only a daughter Annie Eliza and Rosetta died shortly after the 1881 census )

so we might think that either he or his sister had a child named for their father

Births Sep 1869
South Annie Eliza J Lambeth 1d 312
Deaths Dec 1881
SOUTH Annie Eliza J 12 Lambeth 1d 211
South Annie Eliza J 12 Lambeth 1d 241

and it was not Annie ............

Thanks for your later replies.

I suppose the only clue I had to his age was the marriage cert ( on which he could have lied) as I haven't found Alfred on other census records yet. The fact that there was another Alfred South born in Lambeth in 1877 led me down that route.

Ill send for some certificates

Many thanks

With much help from Chrissiex I have started to unravel the Souths.

have now found Alfred on the 1911 census and yes he was born in Lambeth, the right age and works in iron foundry which fits in with his sons marriage cert n 1932. Seems he also had another sister Gertrude who was born and died in 1872 which I found from the baptism records on Ancestry)

I haven't been able to find him yet in 1891 or 1901 anyone care to have a bash?
