Working for a William Pollard, draper & slopseller.

Slopseller 1) Slopshop keeper - readymade clothes

Can't find Alice in 1841 so maybe she came from Ireland as an adult.

Check alternative spellings. I've come across a Rollings family who spend half their time being Rawlings - so I expect the same happens in reverse!

Jill

Still can't find Joseph before 1861.

Emma is in a large school in Croydon in 1871; Friends School which comes after 35 Park Lane.

Although Ancestry has indexed these with Joseph's family they are at No. 408. However there is no head to the household & their relationship is as follows. Who they are related to is anybody's guess.
Julia Millington 32 - widowed sister.
Dora Cave 61 - unmarried aunt
Keziah Mash 20 - servant
Elizth Annie Boddington 18 - servant

This matches up with Emma's Friends School.
