Hello Paul and welcome to the boards.

You have actually added on to an old thread here so some of the information may not be relevant to what you are looking for.

You said you would welcome some advice, so here goes :-)


If you put the name Alice Breakwell 1874 +/- 3 years, into the Search Trees box above, in the dark green bar, you will see that a couple of other people on this site have her in their tree. You can contact them for further info.

I can't see that you are one of them though, so it would be helpful if you could add her to your tree so that other people can make contact with you.


If you want to find out more about her, there are people on here who can help you by looking at records.

Click on the Find Ancestors board again and then on Add Topic to begin a thread of your own. Take a look at the Help Clinic box (above left hand corner) for details of how to go about things.

I am sending you a personal message to help you to find this reply and to let you know how things work on here.

Have fun. Regards, Cx.

Thanks everyone for helping, the workhouse records have her as aged 50 but if you look at the 1881 census it looks like her age is 30 which means she was born in 1851 not 1831.
