Hi,
I am trying to find some info on this lady. She was married to George Bearcroft who was around 50 years older that her, they had a son called George. When the son George was 3 his Dad died and his Mum dumped him at a hospital in Middlesex. They were originally from Evesham. I did think that Alice went on to marry a Sam Bayliss but I could be wrong!
thanks for any help

Ah OK thanks, so I think that is the wrong Alice! I am now looking at the Alice that married Hector Gould in 1932? Maybe that is the right one but having trouble finding her date of birth. Sorry am a bit of an amateur xx

Assuming this is the correct death, George senior died in 1911 (just before the census)

Deaths Mar 1911 (>99%)
Bearcroft George 90 Evesham 6c 189

So not when George junior was 3 years old as he was born in 1900. And assuming it is the correct 1911 census, then he hadn't been dumped at a hospital in Middlesex at the time. And why Middlesex when they lived in Evesham??
