This is the birth of Ernst (Ernest):-

Name: Ernst August Schacht
Year of Registration: 1870
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: London City
County: Greater London, London, Middlesex
Volume: 1c
Page: 53

Maybe when he joined the army he wanted to Anglicise his name and chose Albert.

His military records could be wrong.

My grandfather's army record says he was born in Co. Durham (which is where he grew up), but he was actually born in London.

My father's army record has his year of birth wrong, because he lied and made himself look older to get into the army.

There is an Ernest Schact c1871 on the 1901 census and in 1891 he is named Ernest A, perhaps the A stood for Albert.

Is this the family related to Albert?

Could he have been bought up by other people.If his parents had died there was no legal adoptions then but perhaps someone else bought him up and changed his name?Just a thought Annie

Is this one his uncle?

The only mention of that surname I can find on Ancestry between 1870 and 1875 is for a Charles Schact living in Lincolnshire.
