Their son Alfred Harry played as a child for Marlow Boys football team then as a teenager for Marlow's adult team. He also rowed for the town. He joined the 2nd Battalion of the Bucks Territorials in September 1914. As a child he lived in York Road.

Alfred senior grew up in nearby Prospect Road (then called Marefield Place or Prospect Place) with his parents George and Matilda.

Helen / Ellen worked as a servant before her marriage at Prospect House Marlow, which is not near Prospect Place. The name similarity comes from the fact some of the houses in Prospect Place had been put up by an owner of Prospect House. Helen / Ellen was the daughter of William Plumridge.
