How to make Alaska British?

Um, why? If any English language accent, I would have guess they’d have Yukon, mixed with Russian and Inuit.
Most settlers of British Alaska would ultimately be Canadians, but maybe Royal Navy crew from Australia and New Zealand could be stationed in Alaska for some time or it would be a convict colony after Australia.

The Royal Naval Dockyard at Esquimalt was thus located to counter the Russians. Eliminate that, and there’s no reason to even build a RN base there.
 
It is at the "other" end of Canada. You are going to want a warm water port with all the trimmings somewhere in the West.
 
A fair amount of the British Empire was obtained by individuals or companies so I guess it would be possible for the Hudson Bay Company to take it upon the self send some ships and men north to seize the sparsely populated Alaska from the Russians during the Crimea War. Thus removing their rival in the fur trade, the Russian America Company.
