Alfred Charles Hitchcock (b. 1888)
During the First World War, Alfred Charles Hitchcock was classified C2[1] in February 1917 and was demobbed in March 1919. His war record indicates he was in the Labour Corps and didn't rise above the rank of private, so probably remained in England doing manual labour.
At the time he died in 1944 aged 57, he was living at 11 Campion Road, Putney, which was the house of his uncle John Silvester Hitchcock. Since the 1939 Register also lists him at that address, he had lived with his uncle for several years.
Alfred Charles' estate was worth the considerable sum of £26,629 11s. 7d.[2]
He is buried at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Leytonstone.

Research Notes
- The 1921 Electoral Registry shows Alfred and Alfred Charles living at 23 Jerningham Road with Elizabeth Hitchcock (wife of Alfred and step-mother of Alfred Charles).
- By 1927, Alfred was possibly living at 115 Railton Road SE24 (Brixton).[6] By 1936, when he wrote his Last Will and Testament, he was living at 149 Jerningham Road.
- The Alfred Charles Hitchcock who married Frances Tingley in 1912 in Dulwich, London, was a different person. He was a cabinet maker born in 1880, so of John Hitchcock (occupation: commercial traveller).
