Hi,
Have you checked Trove to see if he is mentioned in any family notices? If not could be worth a try.

Do you know when his parents died?

Hi there,

I see you have Alfred's dates as 1838-1906, and Sarah's as 1840-1926.

May I ask which colony their son Sydney was born in?  You have his birth as 1877.   

May I ask when and where Alfred and Sarah married?

And, what bdm records do you hold for Alfred or Sarah or Sydney ....  For example, is Sydney noted on the death certs for either Alfred or Sarah?   That info may help determine when Sydney died. 

Cheers,  JM
