This is what I know.
Alice Mary Gertrude Hexter married Joseph George Horrocks 7/4/1894 in India. Alice was born 1868 and Joseph 1869.
Joseph was conducting a "survey of India". His father was, according to the marriage record, J G Horrocks. NOTE no mention of the surname Murphy!! Joseph died 1926 in India
Alice's father was W Hexter and was a witness. The other witness was A Garnett-Kemp.
Name: Joseph George Harrocks Murphy Gender: Male Marital Status: Single Age: 25 Birth Date: 1869 Marriage Date: 7 Apr 1894 Marriage Place: Naini Tal, Bengal, India Father: J.G. Harrocks Spouse: Alice Mary Gertrude Hexter
I can find nothing else other than the marriage and Joseph's death.
Gerry :-)

She is a nurse, and her address is c/o Lloyds Bank, Threadneedle st London.
I think this is her death, as Avis K(athleen) H(orrocks) Murphy:

Looks like Alice's brother Alfred James died as an infant:
First name(s) Alfred James Last name Hexter Birth year 1863 Death date 09 Sep 1863 Death year 1863 Age 4M Burial date 10 Sep 1863 Place Naini Tal Presidency Bengal Archive Reference N-1-105 Folio - Page 146 Catalogue Description Parish register transcripts from the Presidency of Bengal, : 1713-1948 Record set British India Office deaths & burials Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records
He is described as the son of Corpl Hexter of the Rifle Brigade, and died of bronchitis.
EDIT: I went and looked at the images on FMP for Elizabeth's baptism, and her father is also recorded as a Corpl Rifle Brigade. Elizabeth's first husband Hector Pollock was a Police Inspector. Her second husband Nolan Bedford was a 'survey of India'

Having just looked through the will for Mary,that I sent you, looks like Alice was her third daughter, Elizabeth her second, and she had an eldest daughter named Mary Ann who was the widow of a Captain John Galvin of The Indian Subordinate Medical Service.
She describes daughter Elizabeth Bedford as deceased and leaves money for masses to be saiid in la Chapelle Montligeon in France for the souls of herself, her husband, her sons (plural) and her deceased daur Elizabeth.
She says she is also unable to read and write English manuscript
This looks to be Mary Ann's marriage, aged 16:
First name(s) John Last name Galvin Marriage year 1873 Marriage date 9 Jan 1873 Spouse's first name Mary Ann<<<<<<<<<<< Spouse's last name Hexter<<<<<<<<<< Place Naini Tal Presidency Bengal Groom's age 25 Bride's age 16 Groom's father's first name John Groom's father's last name - Bride's father's first name - Bride's father's last name - Catalogue description Parish register transcripts from the Presidency of Bengal, : 1713-1948 Archive reference N-1-143 Folio number 365 Entry number - Record set British India Office marriages
Her father's name is not listed on the image.
Husband John Galvin died 1908:
First name(s) John Last name Galvin Birth year 1845 Death date 04 Oct 1908 Death year 1908 Age 63 Burial date 05 Oct 1908 Place Naini Tal Presidency Bengal Archive Reference N-1-353 Folio - Page 254 Catalogue Description Parish register transcripts from the Presidency of Bengal, : 1713-1948 Record set British India Office deaths & burials
Image says cause of death was cancer of the liver.
Elizabeth bedford nee Hexter also died in 1908:
First name(s) Elizabeth Cecilia Last name Bedford Birth year 1866 Death date 07 Aug 1908 Death year 1908 Age 42 Burial date 08 Aug 1908 Place Hazaribaugh Presidency Bengal Archive Reference N-1-351 Folio - Page 140 Catalogue Description Parish register transcripts from the Presidency of Bengal, : 1713-1948 Record set British India Office deaths & burials Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records
On the image she is described as the wife of Nolan Bedford (her second marriage, already posted on this thread), and the cause of death was cardiac failure.
