I suggest you get the marriage certificate to see whether it says he was a widower.

Where did you get the information that his father was Isaac from? As this must have come from somewhere - like a marriage certificate etc.

No baptism found for Alfred - but I suspect his birth may have come close to his mother's death and perhaps he wasn't baptised due to this?

Or it isn't transcribed on FreeReg or is mistranscribed.
