The only John Aldridge born in the Kingsclere area in the correct date range
is the son of George and Caroline - aged 1 in 1851 Census, has a twin
brother James. George and Caroline also had a daughter Mary born about 1848 and a
son Alfred, so this could be the right family. The problem is that there were
two couples in the Kingsclere with daughters called Mary born c. 1848 - Alfred
and Ann and George and Caroline. It is the latter pair who are the parents
of John who moved to Ealing, and it is tempting to assume that the Mary who
became the mother of Alfred Prangle was John's sister, but since Alfred is
described only as 'visitor' rather than nephew, and the marriage appears elusive,
you can not be sure.
Both Marys appear in 1861, one in Ecchinswell with the Smith family, the
other as a servant in Vernham Dean. I have not worked out which is which!
