Alfred was christened 6th March1879 at Littletown Chapel, Wootton Common, Isle of Wight.
To be pedantic, references in the biography to the Isle of Wight and Isle of Wight places being in Hampshire are incorrect. The Isle of Wight was never in Hampshire. Until 1891 the Isle of Wight was in the County of Southampton. From 1891 the Isle of Wight was a County in its own right. It is incorrect to say that Alfred's parents James William Moore and Ann Sophia Pittis were Hampshire-natives.

The list of siblings is incomplete and slightly inaccurate.

His elder sister, Ada Kate (Guttridge), had emigrated to New York together with her two young daughters, aboard the Olympic a week or so before Alfred departed on the Titanic. She arrived in new York on the day that Alfred set sail from Southampton. Her husband William henry had preceded her to New York in September 1911. Ada was widowed soon after and remained in the USA for the rest of her life.
