Hi All again, I had mad a mistake with Alfreds DOB, it was December 20th 1904 and he dies around 1984, Grandad (Alfred) was bought up by his Aunty and Uncle George Yallop and Caroline Cooper for most of his young life but My Father and his sister have no recollection of Clara. I think you are correct with the assumption that James is in fact Alfred in the 1911 census but dad has never heard him referred to as James.

Sorry if I have wasted your time with wrong DOB.

Thanks for all your help!

Nigel :-)

that didn't throw us off too far, Nigel - it was also possible that he himself was confused so the stated birthdate is never entirely reliable anyhow.

(Thanks for your PM!)

Alfred wasn't with aunt and uncle Yallop in 1911:

20 Bungay Road, Norwich Rd, Brooke, Norwich
George Henry Yallop 40
Caroline Yallop 39
Harry Yallop 14
Reggie Yallop 12

so he must have gone to live with them a little later - or he was just visiting the grandparents on census night, not uncommonly. The two households were in the same census district.
