Find Ancestors

Trying to find parents of Alfred Frederick Pashley b.1877 Thorne, W. Yorks d.1954 Dewsbury, W. Yorks. Can only find him in 1911 census, married to Sarah Jane Hall, their children Thomas William b.1900, Eva b.1903, Nellie b.1904, Sarah b.1905 and Millicent b. 1910.
Any help would be much appreciated.

So it looks like Alf was born before her marriage hence the Pashley birth name...oooher!!!

I was just going to say the same!!
I wonder if this is her birth? Where does she say she was born?

Births Dec 1854
Pashley Sarah Jane Chesterfield 7b 434

So Alfred took his mother's maiden name because she had him out of wedlock?

Ah she says Thorne. No birth in Thorne but this is close - I wonder if she knocked a couple of years off her age?
