Mother 
Emma BRISTOW, b. 31 Oct 1851, South Lambeth, Surrey, England d. 4 Apr 1907, Public Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand (Age 55 years) Notes - She married David Marks on 11 March, 1903 when she was 48 years of age. Bringing her birth date back to 1855 not 1835 as shown on her marriage to Samuel Jacobs. She was born in London. David Marks I believe was a Tailor and had a business in Christchurch. I remember my Aunt Lily telling me her father used to take her to visit David Marks and his Mother Emma when Lily was a little girl. Emma's father was George Bristow, a commercial traveller and her mother Caroline nee Moirs. David Marks was 59, born in Frankfurt, Germany. His father was Hyam Marks, Hawker, and mother Eliza nee Schwatz.

Notes - Whilst Alfred is listed as being illegitimate on his birth certificate he is included as a child, unnamed, on Samuel's death certificate.
Whilst at the orphanage he was known as Jacobs, possibly so that the family stayed together, or just an administrative mix up.
June Keating obtained a copy of his school record but owing to copyright restrictions I can't publish a copy but the details have been added to his page.
It is also possible that he was denying his Jewishness.
For all his adult life he was known as Bristow(e)
Another thing is that he kept close ties with his brothers and sisters, travelling long distances to visit them.
According to Lucille Hartshorne, whilst at school he was known as Alfred Jacobs but when he married he started using his mothers maiden name of Bristow but with an added 'e' - Bristowe [4]
