Father Oscar Hickman?

That's unbelievable re Spencer. How on earth you dug that up is beyond me - thanks.

Regarding the other 2 alleged children, I would have to be 100% certain they were Madge's and Alf's before I include this in the final report I'm building for my Mother.

BUT the main priority for her - and me - is to know about the Father she still sadly misses to this day, but barely knew before time runs out for her.

I have failed so far, but I know he can be found by someone who knows where to look

Hi.

I have been desperately trying to find information on my 90 year old Mother's late Father; Alfred (Albert) Wilson - born circa 1900.

Bob,

I think you mean that Alfred was *elusive*.  If he were truly illusive then it would be unsurprising that there is difficulty finding him!

[softly softly]

Well found jonw65 re Spencer.

Loose ends.
London electoral registers.
1934 Alfred & Madge  166, Hampstead Rd
1935 "          "           17, Lyme St
1936  "        "            4a Dalby St
1937  "        "            5 Dickenson St
1938-39      "            2 Dalby St

1939 war register records 2 Dalby St as unoccupied.

With regard to the 2 Wilson/Wentworth births sadly they fall after the 1934 cut off point on GRO index re digital images otherwise I may have spent yesterdays coffee money in checking out.

I take your point Wexflyer

But if I accept Madge's momentary outburst that Wilson might not be Alf's real birth name, then perhaps I'm not too far off.

Either way, he certainly is Elusive!

But I remain optimistic that he has left a thread somewhere waiting to be pulled

Possible earlier sighting of Madge & ALBERT in 1932 electoral register at 6, Warden Road, North St Pancras.

Check out 171 Camden High St in 1939.
There is an Albert Wilson with 2 birth dates.  The amended date of 26 May 1900 appears to have been recorded/notified on 14 May 1942 by the DPL area.  DPL is the area code for Luton.
