Hi Spendlove,
I have my "Alfred" in the censuses between 1881 - 1911, all of which are after his marriage.
RG14/27626
RG13/4323/19/29
RG12/3781/17/28
RG11/4601/139/57
I know this is the right person. Unfortunately, when he married Alice Kay on 13 Aug 1877 at Silkstone, he did not name his father. I am now trying to be efficient and logical about this and I have ordered all the birth certificates for Alfred Yeomans born in Derbyshire between 1850 and 1862, of which there are several. The logic being that if I can track these people forward to 1881, I should be in a position to rule them in or out. However, one which did not have a birth cert was Alfred son of Samuel and Sarah. There is also an Alfred Yeomans living with his grandmother Ann Taylor in the 1861 census (don't know ref off top of head) who probably needs further investigation.
So that's where I'm at.
Thank you for your awesome summary!!
