• Notes

  Alice's birth was registered by her parents on 26 Nov 1868, shortly after her arrival on 15th October at 74 Chalk Farm Road, Kentish Town, London, just north of Regent's Park and near the Roundhouse Theatre. The 1881 Census shows Alice, aged 12, living with her parents, her sister and two brothers at the same address. In April 1891, she is 22 and still with her mother and two of her brothers. Her future husband, Vernon, appears as a visitor on the Census return at her family home, 4 Grove Terrace, Kentish Town, London. She died in Pevensey Bay of complications arising in the 6th month of pregnancy, possibly exacerbated by alcohol abuse, at the age of 29 in 1898. Her husband Vernon was with her when she died. His notes shed light on the possible causes of her death.
