You have been looking for the 1851 census for your Alfred Seymour.
Remember his mother Mary re-married in 1843 to Thomas Wood

In 1851 census all the family (including Seymour children) are using the surname WOOD

Occupations for Alfred and for Rebecca are not recorded, but I would assume they were both employed.

It looks as if Mary had 2 sons born to her second husband.
BIRTH
WOOD, WILLIAM       Mother - STONE 
GRO Reference: 1845  S Quarter in SAINT GEORGE (IN THE EAST)  Volume 02  Page 95

I can't see a registration for the son named Thomas born abt 1842 - maybe not registered.
