He was recorded as living with his parents and siblings Amelia, John, Henry, Charles and Frederick in the 1851 census at 13 Jubilee Place, Chelsea, London. He was recorded as being 5 years old.1,7 He presumably lived with his parents at Kings Parade, in Chelsea, London, in September 1853.8

Albert emigrated from London on 30 December 1853 on the the barque 'Luconia' with his parents and siblings.9,10 Albert arrived at Melbourne on 12 June 1854 with his parents and siblings.11,10

He may have attended the wedding of his brother in the marriage of Charles Oaten and Harriet Louisa Roberts a civil service at the Registry Office on Saturday, 25 February 1865 at the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. Harriet had to get prior permission from a JP due to her age. It's not clear why they chose a civil service over a religious one. Harriet and Charles went on to have six children together, three of whom lived into their adulthood.17 He presumably lived with his parents at at 75 Smith Street in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy in 1866.18 He presumably lived with his parents at at 23 Stanley Street in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood in April 1866.19

The event was very well attended and received except for "the unruly conduct of the boys at the back of the building".26 He was a manager for Broadbent and Co in November 1882 at St. Arnaud, Victoria.26 In November 1882 he was transferred to Sandhurst (now Bendigo), Victoria, a distance of 100 km.26 Albert (and presumably his spouse Hannah) lived in December 1890 at Nicholson Street, in Ballarat, Victoria.27
