Looking for an Alice born c 1860 father John mother unknown. Forns what appears to be tham on the 1861 and 1871 Census and then the disappear from the followinf Census's. My Alice did come to Australia somehow, to far to swim, and was married in Adelaide on 26 Aptil 1881 to James Richards born c 1850 Othery Somerset. He is in Somerset census 1851 and 1861 and might be in Yorkshire 1871 as a boarder. Like Alice and her parents he also seems to had a long swim to South Australia. I have good records for James and his family and for Alice from the time of her marriage. The only clues she has left on documents to her Ancestry are found to date was on her marriage certificate naming her father John age 22 spinster putting a biorth at 1859 /- 1 and on her death certificate which adds a middle name Ann Oct 72 she was 72 born Yorkshire and had been in Australia 58 years. which put her 13/14 coming to Australia and born 1860 /- 1 Bob Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
