Find Ancestors

I have found a Alfred King aged 12 on the 1851 census
at the workhouse in Amersham, bucks but unable to see where he has gone on the 1861 census. Please can anyone help.

I'm not sure , as he was in there with a sister and a William and either a Lucy or Eliza in their 70's

That is why I was hoping to see what happened to Alfred after 1851 as I can't find an Alfred on later census with his birth place.

I know I am wondering if he died there. If so he is not my ancestor. There are so many Alfred Kings. Just got my great grandfathers marriage certificate and his father is Alfred too. I was hoping to see what his profession was so I can identify which Alfred King. But it states that he is deceased! So dissapointed.

Yes. Alfred King was married in Middx. in July 1884 to Sarah Richards.
He is on the 1901 census as coming from either buck or kent. The actual place is hard to see. In the earlier one it says wycombe.

Could William and Lucy be Alfred and Lucy's grandparents? Ages were rounded down on the 1841 so they could have been anything from 45 to 49.

Alfred's birth?

Births Mar 1838 (>99%)
KING Alfred Amersham 6 301

Yes I suppose so. been at this nearly all day. brains a muddle now. Where do you suggest I go from here please.

I was looking around the date of 1839, so I will look at the birth and send for his birth certificate. Thanks to you both

Alfred married Sarah Richards in 1884.I know this is correct as I have his marraige certificate. I ordered it so I could be certain of his fathers name and his proffesion. His name is Alfred too and he was deceased.
The problem is Alfred (jnr) on the 1901 census has put down Bucks, but can't read where! Went to local libray but the place doesn't exist. On the earlier census he and Sarah are down as Wycombe

My Alfred in in London on the 1901 definatley as my grand dad aged 2 Henry Stephen King is on it with is siblings

Found the 1901. Alfred Senior's POB - Bucks Cookham. I don't think there is Cookham in Bucks. There is one in Berkshire, just the other side of the Thames from Buckinghamshire. Maybe his accent made Berks sound like Bucks?

The family in 1891 - Alfred senior's POB is dittoed under the entry above (High Wycombe). Interestingly, there are four households in the house, all with heads having POBs in Buckinghamshire.

Are you certain that Alfred b1860/1 had a father called Alfred?
If your only source is the marriage cert treat with caution as errors are often made particularly if the parent is deceased and may have been known by a different name to that given on registration or baptism
Alfred's birth was registered 1861 Mar Q Wycombe and the best bet would be to get the birth cert.
There is in 1861 a Alfred King aged 2mths which would fit but his parents are James and Charlotte.

Thank you for your help
I'll have another look at the 1891 census.
I'll also get the birth certificate.
