They had two pet geese called Victoria and Adelaide (not Albert) according to this...

I found the info about the geese and presumed the name Albert was a mistake.Haven't seen it picked up before.

thank you slaney and mallyh. I have searched but could find nothing. Not sure which to go with but as the names of the geese nearly match I may go with them.

Pretty sure Victoria and Adelaide are the correct names - this is from Rebecca Fraser's book on Charlotte Bronte...
"The parsonage was nowadays full of animals: two geese, Victoria and Adelaide (for the queen and her aunt) who lived in the peat house."
