Alfred | Alfred est né le 30 septembre 1872 dans le faubourg d'Haringey, qui fait partie du quartier périphérique de Hornsey, au nord de Londres. Alfred était le troisième des cinq fils d'Henry Dunhill (1842 – 1901) et de Jane Styles (1843 -1922), sa cousine germaine. | ||
<blockquote><q>Grandma always contended that he couldn't go to school until he was about eight because he couldn't talk properly. As she also said that he was too far troublesome a child to be left in anyone's care, I conclude that his restless temperament asserted itself at an early age. At any rate, by the time he was fifteen, Father was a tall, thin boy with a quick intelligence, though poor sight (and a late start) prevented him from achieving any distinction at school and from being much of a reader for the rest of his life. Henry spent all his spare money on the education of his younger sons. The truth is that Father, at fifteen, was itching to get down to a practical job of work. The school classroom, he often contended, was simply not for him.</q> Mary Dunhill. <ref name=mary>Dunhill, Mary (1979). Our Family Business (p.16).
