According to Alfred's death record he was born 2.12.1901. There is a school admission record showing an Alfred Hayden Foster with dob as 2.12.1902 with parent/guardian as Frances Alice. This Frances can be found with husband Isaac and son on 1911 census with siblings.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: George William Chapman
« on: Monday 12 April 21 19:36 BST (UK) »
The following will need checking out but think the below is your William.
His parents marriage
Marriages Dec 1871 (>99%)
Baalham Alice Eleanor Mile End 1c 1275
Beith Sarah Mile End 1c 1275
Chapman Arthur Mile End 1c 1275
SCOTT Alfred Thomas Mile End 1c 1275
William was born
CHAPMAN, WILLIAM mothers maiden name BEITH
GRO Reference: 1884 D Quarter in POPLAR Volume 01C Page 696
His father Arthur dies aged 44 in 1888 Poplar
Sarah his mother re-marries Thomas Pamplin
Marriages Dec 1890
Chapman Sarah Poplar 1c 1061
Elliott George Frederick Poplar 1c 1061
Neale Emma Poplar 1c 1061
Pamplin Thomas Poplar 1c 1061
They appear on 1891/1901 census
William then first marries Minnie Elizabeth Walsh 25.12.1910 -his father recorded as Arthur.
William and Minnie probably have 3 daughters 1911,1914,1919.
William then appears to marry Rose Patient in 1920.
As said in an earlier post his marriage cert to Rose should confirm his father's name. If it is Arthur his occupation was a carman at marriage in 1871 & the 1881 census.

I should have included the maiden name of Janet which was Macmillan. Well, I assume so from the info left by my grandfather"
If this is the family you seek and the 1901 census is correct then I think Janet's surname could be DEWAR as per the below baptism.

If you purchased a few credits from Scotlandspeople then one of the 2 below birth registrations should show Dugalds parents as John/Janet with her maiden name.

Whilst I can find no evidence in 1911 would it have been a possibility that as he would have been 16 by the time of census he was in the military.
