Alice May Crisp (born in 1910 in Norfolk) went missing in the mid 1950s, from Tooting, Wandsworth in London.

She married Sidney King in 1935.

She had 5 children - William (Billy), Jean, Sylvia, Margaret and Thomas Philip (known as Philip), who was 5 when she disappeared.

She hasn't been seen or heard of since 1954 and we don't know what happened to her at all.

Does anyone know anything about her?

Sadly I think she died in 1998. see below:

Alice May king d. October 1998 in Northumberland, Newcastle upon Tyne. b. 2nd January 1910.

for reference: District No.0531D reg. No.D59C Ent. No.046 DOR 1098.

This is the onlyAlice May King registered that I can find.

I would suggest that the key is to get her birth certificate to establish her exact date of birth - always helpful when looking for death records.

If she hooked up with another man after she left and used his name then her death may be registered in that name.

There's a tree on Ancestry has her born 18 October 1910 in Ditchingham, Norfolk.

This is the only death with that exact date:
