Many thanks Jefff for your input. The September 1852 registration is certainly our man. I am having problems finding the two 1861 census entries you mention though. Do you have any further references please? I have a sub to findmypast and whatever search criteria I put in, these entries do not come out of the woodwork! The one referring to him as the 7 year old grandson with his grandmother sounds promising and I need to find it! The names on the 1871 Redmarley census do not fit in with other family names I have, and I think there is less likelihood of a match.

The Bromsberrow Heath marriage of 1852 is also correct for William and Mary Ann (Preece, who came from Ashperton, Herefordshire).

Alfred had two brothers, James who was my Great Grandfather, and John born at Bredon in 1865. I have documentation for James from birth, through censuses until he left England for the USA where he died. I also have his family emigrating to be with him and six months later returning to Gloucester after he died.

John, like brother Alfred, is also eluding me. I'm beginning to think they came to sticky, and possibly unrecorded, ends!
