The complete registration district of St George Hanover Square has been indexed by the London and North Middlesex FHS.  Even though this is not listed on their website, you should still be able to order a copy if you wish.  If you do not have a microfiche viewer, you local main library should have one which you could use.

Hi Rick
Thanks for your quick reply, unfortunately I think it's the wrong Alfred as he is only 2yrs old in 1851, such a pity. I am assuming that, as he was born in 1847 that he and his family are still in St Georges 4 years later but if his family were also in the Army they could be anywhere!!
Will try to keep you posted :)

Best Regards Sue

p.s. where exactly in london is St Georges Hanover Square please, my geography of the city is very poor ???

Hi Sue

As I intimated, he was just a possiblity, but it is also worth bearing in mind, that census ages are often "off" ;D

The only way to be certain is to check the complete 51 index for St George Hanover Square.  Assuming of course that his parents didn't move out of the area after his birth ::)

St George Hanover Square was an area of West London north of the river, quite a posh bit, which included areas such as Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Mayfair.
