Adelaide, d. Yes, date unknown (Grandmother)
Notes - With his (gt aunt and uncle?) in 1901 and 1911 (or were they really his g'mother and her husband?)
Born the quarter after his 'parents' married, his mother must have been pregnant at the time of the marriage. And maybe Robert was not his father; in the 1911 census Robert and Lily had 2 daughters with them, and the census shows that they had had 2 children, both still alive, suggesting Albert was not a son of the marriage.

Details from PR (image on FMP, viewed 23 Sep 2020)Strangely, the 1911 census shows that Robert and Lily had had two children by then, although they had two with them and Lily had another with her in 1901.
The latter, a son Albert, was born the quarter after the wedding - was he the son of Lily but not Robert, or was '2' simply an error?
The family were in Gillingham in 1911, but as I can't find them in Kent in 1939 or Robert and Lily's death prior to that I thought they might be the Robert and Lily who died in Woolwich / Greenwich.
Seeing the 1939 registration image together with looking for more children seems to confirm that this is the couple who subsequently lived in Woolwich, despite a couple of date differences in the 1939 register or the index. It is clear the Robert E shown as born 1874 was actually born 1914, and Lily's year is clearly wrong in the register - the date and month match the dob in the death registration index exactly, though the year doesn't.
