His baptism is listed above on an earlier post

Marriages Sep 1919
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caffrey Annie M Cowie Wandsworth 1d 1818
Cowie Albert E Caffrey Wandsworth 1d 1818


Maybe a late marriage for him?

Thankyou Gins and Mel for all that information sorry for late reply as left computer as I can only concentrate on it for a short while. I noticed from the earlier census that Anne Caffry was living with Charles Cowie so there must be some connection there. I wonder why Charles called himself Joseph as he did on some earlier census's very interesting so thankyou very much.Edit I have just noticed that in 1911 census Albert states that he is marrie so there must have been an earlier marriage and she died but thankyou again for your help

It looks like Albert Ernest Cowie had children with his cousin Harriett Alma Cowie

She is down as the mother on the baptism and no father is listed. I dont thnk they married but Albert (on the 1911) listed himself as married to 'save face'
