Thank you, I will: My granduncle was Alfred Tench, born in 1884 to Jane Tench, seamstress to the famous Mander family of Wolverhampton. I don't know who his father was. Jane had 5 illegitimate children, and only one of them (my grandmother, the youngest) had a known father (Frederick Price, agricultural labourer, sometimes known as Edward). The 1891 census shows Alfred living at the South East Shropshire District School at Quatt, near Bridgnorth, with his older (half?) brother William; it was a kind of pauper institution. For a while, and in the 1898 census, Alfred and most of his siblings and their Mum Jane went by the name of Price after they moved in with Frederick at 59 Pale Street, Upper Gornal; but Alfred had dropped that name and gone back to Tench by the time he joined the Army in 1914. That's when he made his Will, leaving everything to Florence Affron. (Just prior to joining up, he had been working at the nearby sandstone quarry.) He served in the same regiment as Florence's son William Reuben, and they both died in 1918, although Alfred died several months before William. When they died, Alfred was 30 and William 18.
That's all I know about Alfred Tench, and I know absolutely nothing about how he knew the Affrons!
