[edit] History

Albert and his wife Lou moved into 45 Albert Square shortly after their wedding. They had seven children. Their first child, Maggie, was conceived out of wedlock and adopted out to an Irish family shortly after she was born. Albert and Lou then had four sons (Kenny, Harry, Ronnie and Pete) and two daughters (Dora and Pauline). Dora, Ronnie and Harry never appeared in the TV series.

When Albert died in 1970, Ronnie inherited the stall, but had since discovered he had a fatal heart defect so he passed the stall onto Pete.

Albert's name lives on as the middle name of three of his grandchildren Ian Beale and Mark and Martin Fowler.
