Nothing obvious for an Alfred Crosby born 1880

Looks like you might have to get her birth cert to find her parents names.

I was wondering if the Madonna/Mcdane daughter was a Medora, as that names crops up in the next generation with your Alice Medora - if so it would help confirm this is th eright family (assuming ALice Medora's dad is Alfred of course)

I looked for her birth but found:
Ap/May/Jun 1887
Sarah Medora Crosby
Lambeth reg district
ref 1d 327

So wheres Alfred in 1901 ?
Title: Re: 1901 look up please
Post by: lily-pond on Wednesday 23 July 08 14:47 BST (UK)
Hi Yes i think you are right about Medore.
I have received Alice's death certificate this morning and her birth was 19 Feb 1904 in Southwark
No one can seem to find her father Alfred Isaac Crosby in the 1891 or 1901 census,unless he was in the army?
I thought if he could be found in 1901,it might show that Alice had siblings.
No idea of her mothers name
I know all about Alice from 1925,marriages and kids.

Doesnt look as if he was married by 1901

Marriage:
Jul/Aug/Sept 1903
Southwark reg district ref 1d 327
Alfred Isaac Crosby

brides on page Alice Milne and Harriet Ellen Pope

Getting either his marriage cert or Alice's birth cert would give an occupation for him, and hopefully an address at the time

Hi, Alice was my grandmother, she was born 19/02/1904 23 Brunswick Street, Christchurch, London, U.K., and died 17/9/1978, at St Peter's Hospital, Chertsey, U.K.
Her Father was Alfred Isacc Crosby, who was born C1879 at St Andrews, Lambeth, Surry, U.K. and died C1946 at 38 Albert Road, Silvertown London E16 on about 6/May 1949.

In the 1901 census he was shown as a crew member aboard HMS Cambridge, based in Cornwall, U.K. under the name of Fred Crosby.

If you wish to contact me on my email address, I can send you the family tree of his father William Crosby.
