Sandra, what about Alfred's wifes name, can you find that out? I found a small amount of info for an Alfred married to a Dollie Brammer but can find anything after them yet. Alfred's parents are listed as John Sempleton Lilly, 1845 - 1904 and Sarah Catherine Harvey, 1844 - 1869.
Hope that is your Alfred, it isn't much but its something if it is him.
