1871 census lists Alfred L. aged 2, living with his parents as above.
At the time of his first marriage Alfred was living at 8, Woods Road, and his occupation was given as "Cheesemonger".
As you will see below his first bride died within weeks.
At the time of his second marriage, Alfred was living at 372, Lower Road, Woolwich, and his occupation was given as "Grocer's Assistant".
In the 1901 census, Alfred, his second wife and four eldest children were staying as visitors at the home of George Harris,

In 1952 Alfred was living at 33, London Road, Braintree, Essex

Harold Richard
Stagename "Dick Calkin".
My grandfather (Arthur Calkin) actually appeared alongside Dick on odd occasions. Never planned.
Below we see a great picture of Dick (he is the one in the middle).
Following the final family member below, is an original poster from 1951 which actually features the two performing Calkins.
In 1952 Dick Calkin was living with his father in Braintree as given above. |
