Additional Information

In 1881, Alfred was a servant living at 51a Elizabeth Street St George Hanover Sq, MDX. He married in England, but almost immediately went to Sri Lanka, presumably as part of the military establishment, where his son Maurice was born. I have been unable to find him in the 1901 census, perhaps he was still in Sri Lanka. In the 1911 census, Alfred and Kate were living in Alverstoke with Stanley and Ena, and Kate's mother, Sara Hunt JETTEN; son Maurice was only 15 years old, but already a serving soldier, stationed at Fort Rowner, Alverstoke. At the time of Maurice's death in 1915, Alfred and Kate were living at 4 Nightingale Terrace, Brockhurst, Gosport HAM; Maurice's name and details of his service can be seen on the Rampton War Memorial.

Alfred Maurice was difficult to track down because, although he was baptised as Alfred Morris, his birth was registered as just Maurice, and he later married as Alfred Maurice. When he died in 1932, his death was registered as Maurice.
