The children seem to have been born in St Olaves, but cannot identify a marriage. When and where was Alfred born.

We are not allowed to do 1911 look ups, but if you have a look you may find more children

Looks like George H could have died Dec qtr 1907 Milton aged 61. This could have prompted Alfred coming to find a family of his own.

Some census have been transcribed as Minster, the 1871 is clearer it should be Murston which is a suburb of Sittingborne
There is someone tracing this family online.
