Life Summary
Alfred Edward Lillecrapp was born on 29 January 1869 at Eden Valley in the Barossa Council district of South Australia, the son of Albert Lillecrapp (1843–1930) and Esther Turner Prince Lillecrapp (1841–1932). He married Mary Bayes Farrow in 1898.
He and Mary went on to have a large family; their eldest child, Olive Mary Lillecrapp, was born 10 June 1899 at Finniss Point near Tarlee, SA, and married Dr Cyril Thomas Piper at the Baptist Church, Adelaide, on 2 June 1928.
Alfred died on 29 April 1934, aged 65, at Adelaide, South Australia. He is buried at Mitcham General Cemetery, Section B, Plot 589.
Proof classification: This profile's core spine (birth, death, burial plot, marriage, parents) is confirmed by TWO independent source groups — the WikiTree compiled tree (Lillecrapp-18) and the FindAGrave headstone/cemetery transcription (memorial 201506961) — which independently agree. A live SA BDM death registration (1934, Adelaide) or a Trove newspaper death notice (late April 1934) would upgrade this from "double-source confirmed" to "primary confirmed"; both were paywalled/unreachable in the 28 Aug 2026 research pass. No different-person risk: the Eden Valley birthplace + 1934 Adelaide death + wife Mary + the Farrow/Telfer marriage chain tie this unambiguously to the Lillecrapp branch (see Corrections Log — Alfred Edward Lillecrapp).
