Albert was born in Albury Surrey in 1844. He is the eldest child of Ann Atfield (father is unidentified) who was born well prior to his mother's subsequent marriage to Charles Cumper. Albert was baptised in Albury on 9 February 1845.
Albert appears in the 1851 census as Albert Cumper but that seems to be the only time he is recorded under that name.
When Albert married in 1870, he indicated his occupation to be 'policeman' but by the following year in the 1871 census, he was working as a 'gardener'.
On 19 March 1870 at St James Church, Shere Surrey, Albert married Elizabeth Mansell. The couple would have 6 children born between 1872 and 1880 but sadly only 2 of the 6 would survive at 1880.
Albert died at about age 35 in Guildford in March 1880 shortly before the birth of his youngest child. He was interred in Guildford on 13 March 1880.
