Hi, My great aunt, ALICE CLIFFORD, was born in Smethwick in 1884. I was told by my aunty that she married a `church army` man, likely in Smethwick. I know that she died at a young age. I`ve looked on the internet and `church army` is another name for Evangelist. I cannot find the marriage anywhwere (or the death as I dont know her married name). The only one I could find cannot be her, as it would have made her only 12 years old at the time of marrying. Has sks any ideas please? thanks Val

Val, Of those five I've just listed there are two possibles:- Alice ELLIS died aged 39 years at West Bromwich in 1925 and Alice MIERS died aged 49 years at Birmingham in 1935 Whether these are the same Alices, I don't know, but worth checking out.
