Some of the trees on Ancestry have Alfred's death as 1940.

There is an Alfred in the 1939 register, born 1850, with three females, Amelia, Edith and Ethel, whose birth dates match with children of Alfred Edgar and Amelia Caroline. They are in Bromley.

There is this death in Jun qtr 1940
Jewson Alfred 89 Bromley 2a 1539

The Bromley Alfred is a retired Butler
In 1911 in Bromley there is an Alfred Jewson age 60, who is a butler to a paper manufacturer. and married
And he says he was born Lincolnshire, parish unknown.
He has also helpfully said he has been married 39 years and has had 8 children, one has died.

Ethel L Jewson (in the 1939) can be seen in London in 1921. Teaching. She says she was born Bromley. So I think am sure this is a different Alfred. (Who married Amelia Ann Daysh in 1872)

These are the two families who seem to be getting mixed.   I agree with mckha489 that the Bromley Alfred is not correct.

It could be worth getting sight of the 1916 death certificate mentioned earlier.

I see the problem, two guys with the same name of a similar age both marrying women with the same christian name. Some of the trees on Ancestry would appear to have well and truly confused the two as well.

I agree that the 1916 death looks most promising.

I agree that the 1916 death looks most promising.

You might also have to get the 1894 marriage certificate.
But Beatrice (child in the family we found in 1911) at her marriage  says her father Edgar was a printer.

One part of the son Arthur Edgar's army records state that his father is deceased. Declared by his mother in 1919.
