Confused, Alfred would have been 7 in the 1911 census, so would I be looking for my inlaws marriage cert or Alfred's parents? I see charlotte is listed with her parents and siblings in the 1911 census, so would there not be the same information on Alfred?

This is the marriage you need to send for.

Name: Alfred W Stanton
Spouse Surname: Dowell
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1929
Registration district: Wandsworth
Registration county (inferred): Surrey
Volume Number: 1d
Page Number: 744
Find Spouse: Charlotte D Dowell

Yes Charlotte has been found on 1911,she was not difficult to pin point.

But without Alfreds fathers name there are choices for which one is "your"Alfred on 1911.
So his marriage cert to Charlotte will give you the info you need to be certain you have the correct one in 1911....

Bette-ann,

There was only one Charlotte Dorothy Dowell so she was easy to find. There are lots of Alfred Stantons.

good point, lol, he was definitely Alfred William, not walter and apparently mum has the marriage cert here in her suite in our house...but...buried in old things of her mums.. She can't come back to here(Va) due to health issues for a little bit, currently in Canada. I upgraded to gold, thinking that might help, but not really...haha, anyone know why i can't view the 1911 census?

Because its not on here.
Its here
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/

Pay per view ,or on subs.

Or here.

http://www.1911census.co.uk/

Pay per view only.

GR do not hold records themselves,they direct you to other sites.
You would have been better off spending your money on Ancestry or Find my past and only paying the standard membership on here to be able to use the message boards...

I was on there a few hours ago, too funny!! I have had the standard membership here for several years, but thought I was doing something wrong ( surprise I was!! ) Decided i may as well pay for the gold as it says on the membership unlimited access for viewing records, and I could have sworn I had found most of my mom's family history in scotland by buying credits way back when. I also have ancestry membership(had world membership for a couple months but I think I am useless as a researcher. I will blame it on the one thing I am certain of, my inherited bad memory!
