Can someone please check a London baptism and also the 1911 census

Lily Mary Alford born 1907 quarter 4 Marylebone district.
I think her parents could be Frederick Alford and Lily Elizabeth Sangway who married 1906 quarter 3 Marylebone district

the 1911 census index shows a Lily Alford age 4 in the New Forest, Hampshire, and it looks like there is a Frederick Alford age 25 also in the New Forest. But there is a Lily Elizabeth Alford age 27 in Portsmouth

Many thanks

Frederick Alford b.1879 Exeter, Devon, Weighing Machine Fitter
Lily Alford b.1883, Marylebone !Wife)
Leby Mary Alford b.1908 Marylebone

Many thanks everyone. The 1911 Marylebone one would be the right one.

Thanks Mel, yes that is Lily's marriage. A friend of mine wanted to know Lily's parents names and when they were born, all he knew was where Lily was born and the approx year and her mothers maiden name.

Thanks again to everyone
