Hepburn thank you for this.  They may be Alexander's parents as he was born in 1773.

Sorry, I can find no Alexander Jeffrey (or similar) marriage at Beckenham (St George), which was the only church in the area until 1869. I checked a transcript index for the whole of the registers and looked at microfilmed pages in your date range. Some of the writing is rather faint, though.

I had a look for the Jeffery gravestones detailed in bearkat's post (#3), but they are gone, along with many others on that side of the churchyard. Possibly it was damaged by the fallout from two V1s that flattened adjacent property in July 1944. The gravesites can still be located by the yew tree, now huge, and a few surviving nearby stones.
