I couldn't find him, but here is Josephs birth Births Dec 1866 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffcoat Joseph G Kensington 1a 115

Hi - Just got back from cooking. Julie and Just Looking - many thanks for your efforts. Much appreciated. Joseph is Alfred's cousin. The Jeffcoats were a tight-knit bunch. Joseph's parents were Joseph and Emily Jeffcoat. Joseph was the younger brother of Alfred's father, also Alfred. In every census, there are cousins/aunts etc staying with other families. It's very confusing sometimes because Joseph junior had a sister Emelia Harriet born 1861, and Alfred had a sister Amelia Ann born 1863. Emilia was born in Brompton and Amelia in Kensington. So they become easily confused, especially as Emilia's name is frequently mistranscribed or misspelt as Amelia.

By the way, I am descended from DANIEL JEFFCOAT and his wife ANNE (nee Parrott). Alfred senior and Joseph senior were his sons. Their sister ELIZA was my great-great-grandmother.

Elizabeth They sound like my Newmans from Chalfont st Peter Julie

Julie - Daniel was a Quaker (originally) and the whole family seem to spend a lot of time with each other. My Eliza died at her sister's and brother-in-law's house in Wandsworth in 1900 - it took a long search to find her death! I always wonder where I shall find them next!
