He married 5 Edith Smith in 1900 in Bathurst, NSW, Australia..
In late 1891 early 1892 Alfred looks to have left home as he is recorded as living on the North side of the road at Bentwick Street (now Bentinck Street) in a house described as 3 rooms owned by the Scottish Australian Investment Society. He moved from here in late 1893 as the rates records show he was not here in 1893 and may have moved back with his mother Hannah who was now in a 8 room house on Havannah Street just near the corner where his older brothers George and John Thomas had their brickworks and looks to have worked here as well. In 1903 and 1904 he is recorded as living at 62 Havannah Street which is described as a house 5 rooms which he rented from Frances Grago. In 1905 he moved just a few doors down to 56 Havannah Street, this was owned by John W. Ashworth and was a again described as a house 5 rooms. Then in 1906 he moved to 58 Havannah Street which was another 5 room home owned by Mr. John Ashworth, Alfred was still here in this house in 1907.

Details of Ann Barham's origins comes from the 1619 Visitation of Kent.
Anna filia Nicholai Barham de Wadhurst
Anne daughter of Nicholas Barham of Wadhurst
Wadhurst is approximately 30km from Meopham in East SussexHasted, in his account of Meopham in
the 'Survey of Kent', shows a faints light on the fate of Anne, Nicholas Barham's only child. In
1606 she was married to a gentleman named Haslim, of Meopham Court, who died in 1628,
leaving her with a twelve year old son, who had been christened Barham. A year or two later,
Anne took a second husband, a Capt. Courthope of Northfleet, not Wylie. To secure the
future of Anne and Barham Haslim, her son, her father and Frances Courthope leased the
manor and parsonage of Meopham from the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, to be held
during the lifetime of the mother and son. But then came the Civil War and the Deans and
Chapters ceased to exist for the time being. The sequestered lands were surveyed to the
Government in 1649 and it was found that the manor house and its appertainces were let at
the "yearly rent of £36, with the entertainment made to the receiver, £2 yearly; and a further
sum of £100 every seventh year, which premises were worth, besides the improved value of
£200:16:6d, and that the lessee was bound to repair the buildings and the chancel of the
parish church. One wonders whether Anne and her son Barham, if they were still alive, were
allowed to continue in the peaceful occupation of the manor and parsonage of Meopham, but
the curtain falls on their future. The findings of the Commonwealth Surveyor throw some light
on the relative value of money in those days.

Henry Haslen, infant, claiming through his guardian Sir George Cowthopp, to profits from the Navigation . CLAIMS FOR REDRESS SUBMITTED BY THE FOLLOWING Henry Haslen, infant, claiming through his guardian Sir George Cowthopp, to profits from the NavigationDate: 1671.
George Cowthorpe may have been the father of Francis Cowthorpe (Courthope) the second husband of Ann Haslem nee Barham and another George Courthope was the cousin of Francis Courthope, but I am not certain which Henry this would have been. It may have been a grandchild that was in the guardianship of George Cowthorpp- any of Ann's own children would have been too old by 1671.This manor was De cibo monachorum, that is, to the use of their refectory. (fn. 3) In the year 1306, anno 35 king Edward I. Henry Prior and the chapter of Christ church, Canterbury, released to their homagers and tenants of Mepham certain customs and services for an annual rent, to be paid yearly to them within the manor of Mepham.
King Edward II. by his letters patent, in his 10th year, granted to the prior and convent free warren for themselves and their successors, in all their demesne lands in Meopham. King Henry VI. in his 25th year, granted to them a market at Meopham weekly, on a Saturday; and one yearly fair, on the feast of the apostles St. Peter and St. Paul. (fn. 4)
The manor of Meopham continued part of the possessions of the priory of Christ church till the dissolution of it in the 31st year of king Henry VIII. when it was surrendered into the king's hands, to whom it was, together with all the lands and possessions belonging to it, given by the general words of the act, passed that year for this purpose, but it did not remain long in the crown, for king Henry settled it, among other lands, by his dotation charter, in his 33d year, on his new erected dean and chapter of Canterbury, part of whose possessions it now remains. On the abolishing of deans and chapters, in 1649, after the death of king Charles I. their manors and lands were ordered, by the powers then in being, to be surveyed, as a security for certain sums of money to be borrowed on them, to supply the necessities of the state; and in 1650, another ordinance passed for the sale of them, to discharge those sums and other purposes therein mentioned. In consequence of the former, the manor and rectory of Meopham, belonging to the dean and chapter of Canterbury, were surveyed in March 1649, when it was returned, that the tithes of corn and blade, within the manor of Meopham, estimated, coibs annis, at 120l. were, with their appurtenances, let by the late dean and chapter, in 1630, to Francis Courthop and Nicholas Barham, and also the scite, court-lodge, and demesnes of their manor of Meopham, and all houses, barns, lands, &c. and other emoluments, parcel of the demesnes, and parsonage, and one acre of land near the parish church of Meopham, and the woods and underwoods of the manor, containing fifty-five acres, excepting all rents of assize, courts, and law days, and other royalties of the manor, to hold during the lives of Anne Courthope and Barham Haslin, at the yearly rent of 36l. and for entertainment money to the receiver, 2l. yearly, and the further sum of 100l. every seventh year; which premises were worth besides, the improved value of 222l. 16s. 6d. and that the lessee was bound to repair the buildings and the chancel of the parish church.
