I see Albert was a Cycle Dealer in 1901. They made a lot out of him being a "Gentleman" on Hester's marriage cert, and at one point said that he described himself as a gentleman on "the" marriage certificate, but of course it was probably Hester who gave that as his occupation and it may or may not have been true. I've got plenty of marriage certs in my collection where father is a "gentleman" although he has a trade on the censuses.
And I see that Thomasine has a 1 year old daughter on the 1901 census. Could Thomasine maybe have been wet-nursing Hester?
