I have been to Alderton this morning and, thanks to the kind lady who currently lives there, I have been able to confirm that this photo was definitely taken at Alderton School.
Just need to work out which of the lads is my grandfather now

Jen- thanks again, I did have the 1851 census for Elizabeths family, and I have the family in 1861 but she is not with them.
Modified- In 1861 Elizabeth is still in Hasting living as a servant with the Lindridge family

Maureen - I have been unable to trace a marriage for Elizabeth and Henry , nor a death for her before his second marriage. Maybe they never married, although the son is registered as Henry Pain   

Hi Jennifer, thanks again for all your help and the PM. I was looking for him to be with Elizabeth after seeing what I thought was her in 1911, so had discounted the census showing Henry & Emma. Still cant find his marriage to Elizabeth, but that may have been in Sussex where she was born.

I am trying without success to trace Henry Pain and his wife Elizabeth in the 1881 or later census.
In 1871 the are living in St Georges Wandsworth, Battersea Henry aged 30, Engine Fitter born Paddington, wife Elizabeth aged 29, born St Leonards Sussex, son Henry aged 3 born Clapham. Elizabeths mother Sarah Walker is also with them, aged 60 born Rochford Essex.
 I have found a possible entry for Elizabeth in 1911 , living alone back in St Leonards Sussex. If this is the correct one she had been married 50 years and had 2 children but only one was still living. Henry was not with her, but her status still showed her as married.

Any help with the census details or marriage would be appreciated.

Try emailing Bristol Record Office. I have recently got patient records from Southmead hospital in Bristol from them, so they may have the Bristol Royal Infirmary ones too.
