Without any idea of even a first name for his first wife it would be almost impossible as there are so many Albert Booth marriages. Do you have any idea of even an approximate year for his first marriage?

My Father was married before he met my mother, can anyone help me to find this marriage. I have tried but as I am a novice I don't know where to look. I would also like to find if he had children from this marriage. Can any one please tell me where I can search.

Kind regards

"albert's" baptism hasn't been mistranscibed. On the baptism entry it is clearly Alfred. That would make more sense as John and Annie already had a son called Albert William b. 1884. He is with his brother John on the 1901 census.

This is the Lady that registered the birth. I wonder if she made a mistake and Albert was really meant to be registered as Alfred.
