Hi Albert's birth was definately 1901 the same as his twin, 1903 was a mistake.

What a lovely day today!

Alice born 17 Feb 1892
Bap'd 14 July 1895

Address Frog's Island North Hyde.

Going back to Alfred I think the registra put the wrong yesr down and it should have been 1900 same as his twin. Cos it was in 1903 he made that mistake.
