Hi Milly
Thanks for coming back to me. Its ok for me to write about them, as they are all deceased.
My Grandfather was born Alfred John Stafford Collier (on his Birth cert), but somewhere along the line he dropped the ‘Collier’ surname, and went by ‘Stafford’, as his surname.
On his birth cert it states his Father is Alfred Collier and Mother Elsie Ould, but I cannot find a marriage between these 2 people, and I do not know anything about them.
Alfred John Stafford was brought up by Alfred Leopold Stafford, so there must be a connection with him somewhere, because of the name, but when he died in 1936 in a institution in Blackpool, Alfred John was sent to Barnados.

I know his Mother Elsie Ould deserted him, but I am not sure at what age.

It would of been nice to of found Alfred Leopold in 1911, as then I could of known a bit more about him.
I can email you a copy of AJS birth cert and ALS Death cert if you PM me, but I don’t think this will help alot.
Thanks for helping
