trying to find what happend to g.g.grandmother

I am trying to find what happend to my g.g.grandmother Alice Cousins/Cousens. She was born 1864,Bishopstoke, Hampshire. In 1886 and 1890 she had 2 children (the eldest was my g.grandfather). I have both birth certs for these children, and in both cases neither had a father registered on the certs. In the 1891 Census she and her children are living with her parents in Oswlebury, Hampshire. In the 1901 Census the family are still living in Oswlebury, but Alice isnt listed as living with them. I have tried looking for a marriage for Alice, and I have also looked to see when she died, but cannot find anything. If anybody has any info or suggestions I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Tracy
