If you mean that "Master" might be a mistranscription of Alfretta - no , it isn't.
He's definitely a male child.

[I don't know why I wrote that Henry was a farmer - no, he isn't - he's an engineer.]


I don't see Gertude and Henry Handley in 1911, nor anyone who could be their son.

(who is the other Visitor with them 1911, any connection?)...

"Alfretta" was not a common name but feel sure is was not after the town 'Alfreton'

There are several births with that name and they are not born/lived in Alfreton

Hi
The Families are related to my Son in Law but he hasn't any clues about them

Hi
I wonder if master Handley is on the 1911 Census
Where were his Father and Mother born any idea
Talk to you again soon
Olive

Can't see any likely Darrington/Handley, Hill/Handley, or Rudkin/Handley marriages in England.

Maybe one of them went to South Africa and married there?

I have no idea if the Handleys coming and going to/from S Africa are related to you or to each other or not.

Have to go out, so can't spend more time on it at the moment.

Hi
You beet me to i
Ada Sarah Darrington married Alfred Rudkin
Thier Daughter was called Dorothy Alfretta Rudkin born 1914
Olive

Thank you for your reply
So luck how Alfretta Handley entered UK

You talk about the Handleys coming and goings over the years What were they up too
Was any one related to Darrington or Rudkin Families please
Sorry to ask you all these questions but I am not a member of Ancesrty
The local Library is closed for the time being

As a fairly wild guess, I would suggest she was called Alfretta after the town of Alfreton, where the Darringtons lived, so she was probably a relative.

Do you know anything else about Alfretta, Olive Jean, or is she a mystery person who has just popped up in your tree?

I wonder if this family is related - on an earlier visit??

Master Handley

Master Handley was born in Transvaal.
His parents are Henry and Gertrude Handley, aged 31 and 26.
Henry's a farmer.


Over the years, there are quite a few comings and goings of various Handleys between South Africa and UK.
No further sightings of Alfretta, though, unfortunately.

Her middle initial is O, not D.

Ancestry's transcription says she was born South Africa, France! It's actually South Africa, Transvaal.
