This is my grandfather. All I know about him is that he married my grandmother Anorah (Norah) Dennahy on Sept. 17, 1921 in Walthamstow. His father was also Alfred James Jackson. I don't even know his date of birth or where he was born. Believe that his mothers name was Julia. He lived at 5 Storey Rd., Walthamstow when married. He also had a sister Alice May Jackson. Thank you for any help that you can offer.

his father's occupation is listed as post office employee. Anorah Josephine Dennahy is my grandmother but she died in Feb. 1975 in the States. Alfred died 8 Dec. 1935 in Catford. Death cert. doesn't give place of birth.

Just found that his sister Alice was born in Romford June Qtr. 1901. I just might have to send for her birth cert. for more information. From what I can remember from my grandmother, Alfred was one of about 5 children.
Thank you all for your help so far.
