This sounds like one of my father's uncles. Alfred was married to Elizabeth: in 1901 Dorothy was born, William and Geoff followed. Dorothy emigrated to Rhodesia (later Zimbabwe) causing sadness to her parents.William had one son Deryck who lives in Arnold.
Alfred was the eldest of 6 children from the marriage of William Leivers (born about 1853) and Alice Smetheringale. The others were Hannah, Frank, Henry (my grandfather), Emma and Thomas.Alice died in 1889. William took a second wife Sarah and reared more child:Bryan,Alice,Polly,William and Hanford -there may have been more.
In 1901 11 of them were living on Lynncroft -in the same house!Soon after Thomas took the train to Manchester and set up a family there.
