There is a birth listed for Charlotte Campion 1859 Caistor

Looks like Charlotte is the niece and the Alfred is listed under as nephew

Why do you think he was born in Caistor. What proof have you got?

Where some one dies is not an indication of where they were born.

Have you got the marriage cert?

So really you could have put down that you knew he married Charlotte. It would have saved me time finding the marriage and then the 1881 info.
