Hi Don ...
A quick trawl around the FreeBMD website (
www.freebmd.org.uk - free online viewing of births, marriages and deaths from 1837) and various censuses found the following.
The marriage of Reuben ROSE and Alice THORNETT (the couple mentioned in your second post) was registered in Chipping Norton in 1874. Their children (extracted from subsequent censuses) were: Emily (c1877), Percival R. (c1880), Albert H. (c1883), Walter Wm. (c1885)
(your grandfather), Alfred A. (c1890), Daisy (c1893), Thomas (c1896)
(your great-uncle "Thomas Frederick"?) and Ivy (c1899).
On the 1901 census, the family are living with Reuben's father (Henry - see Bucksboy's posting of the 1881 census entry above) at Rectory Farm, Salford. (The 1871 census entry confirms that Reuben's parents were Henry and Frances.)
Hope this may help you on your way!
