Yes, Christine, that is a surprise to find out that Harold Roland Badham is the grandson of Alfred and Fanny, not the son. I have not been able to find out which of Alfred's children could have been the parent.
However, you could order HR's birth certificate online at http://www.gro.gov.uk/grohttp://www.gro.gov.uk/gro. That should tell you at least his mother's name, usually also the father's name and occupation and town. The birth index # to ask for is March (or 1st Quarter)1894, district 6a, page 493, birthplace Preston Wynne, Herefordshsire. I got this information by doing a search on http://freebmd.rootsweb.comhttp://freebmd.rootsweb.com.
From previous censuses I find Alfred's children's names are: William, born abt 1869; James Alfred, b. abt 1870; Annie Gertrude, b. abt 1873; Eda (or Eva) b. abt 1876; George, b. abt 1880; and Frances Elizabeth, b. 1885. This would be HR's Aunt Fanny, who was also born in Preston Wynne, whereas all the others were born in Mordiford, just a few miles away.
Badham One Name Society has a Parish Record listing of Alfred's Baptism on 12 Sep 1846, Lugwardine, Herefordshire. 1851 census shows his family at Rockfield Lodge, Lugwardine, parents are James b. abt 1807 and Ann b. abt 1808.
