Yes, this must be the right family!
World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 list Alf Week as born 04 SEP 1881.

The Alf listed by Jackie is also born 04 SEP. His birthyear is 1882 though, and not 1881. Parents are Andreas Hansen & Maren Gurine Tollefsdr on the Viken farm in Nedre Eiker, Buskerud, later known as Andrew & Maren Week.
