Alfred Thomas (2) Woodhurst was born in 1873 at Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk to parents Alfred Thomas (1) Woodhurst and his wife Frances Jane Punchard [Birth Index: Bury St. Edmonds 4a 499, 1873 (Dec)].
The 1881 Census finds him living with his parents at the Coach House Rooms in High Baxter Street, Bury St. Edmunds.
The 1891 Census finds him at age "17" living with his parents at 21, Meat Market in St. James Parish, Bury St. Edmunds. He was occupied as a clothier's assistant.
He married Amy Matilda Tooth at Leicester in 1901 [Marriage Index: Leicester 7a 307, 1901 (March)]. She was born in Liverpool in 1882 [Birth Index: Toxteth Park 8b 205, 1881 (Sept)].
The 1901 Census finds them boarding at 58, Southgate Street in St. Mary Parish, Leicester in the household of a grocer Frank Wood. Alfred Thomas (2) was occupied as a clothier's assistant.
Amy Matilda may have left her husband and taken a new partner. She died in 1920 aged "39" [Death Index: Pancras 1b 84, 1920 (Dec)]. The Register of Deaths for St. Pancras South Infirmary names her as "Amy Woodhurst alias Silver" and states that she had been admitted there on February 25th 1920, having previously been in University College Hospital. Her residential address is given as 28, Kentish Town Road. Her age is given here as "37", the cause of death as cerebral haemorrhage and the date of death as October 29th. The record notes that she was buried by "friends".
Alfred Thomas (2) died aged "74" in 1948 [Death Index: Colchester 4a 454, 1948 (June)].
Amy Winifred was born in Leicester in 1903 [Birth Index: Leicester 7a 317, 1903 (Dec)]. She married Sidney E. Taylor in 1924 [Marriage Index: Pancras 1b 195, 1924 (Dec)].
Minnie (2) was born near Liverpool [Birth Index: Wirral 8a 419, 1904 (March)]. It is not yet proven that her father was Alfred Thomas (2). In particular, her birth appears to have followed that of Amy Winifred by significantly less than 9 months. It may be that Minnie (2) was born prematurely in difficult circumstances, and that Amy Matilda had returned to Liverpool to give birth among her own family. Evidence favouring Alfred Thomas (2) being the father is that he had a sister named Minnie.
