Apart from the Alfred in 1841 census given before, this is the only other Alfred that seems to fit, correct date of birth:-

Name: Alfred Stanton
Age: 15
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1826
Gender: Male

Civil Parish: St Giles in The Fields
Hundred: Ossulstone (Holborn Division)
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England

Occupation: Scholar

Registration district: St Giles
Sub registration district: St Giles South

He seems to be in some kind of Religious School as the Head is a Clergyman

Worth keeping on file!

This is the Alfred (parents William and Charity) in 1841:-

Name: Alfred Stanton
Age: 13
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1828
Gender: Male
Where born: Middlesex, England

Civil Parish: St Luke
Hundred: Ossulstone (Finsbury Division)
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England

Registration district: St Luke
Sub registration district: City Road
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members:
Name Age
Alfred Stanton 13
Charity Stanton 45
Elizabeth Stanton 15
William Stanton 45

Charity Stanton abt 1796 St Luke, Middlesex
William Stanton abt 1796 St Luke, Middlesex
(Plumber)
Alfred Stanton abt 1828 Middlesex, England St Luke, Middlesex
Elizabeth Stanton abt 1826 Middlesex, England St Luke, Middlesex

This one is quite interesting. Father is a Plumber but they are living next door to someone who is a Shoemaker?


Just checked 1851 census and Alfred is living in London with his widowed mother. So not the same one!!
At least you can eliminate this one.
