Looking for the family of Alice Mary Woolley born in the City of Birmingham 1902.

The only record i have found are in the 1911 census as a boarder and the marrage in BMD for her marrage to Reginald Clarke 1924 Coventry.

Regards Gerald

Well her marriage cert should show her father's name ,if known

You may have to buy her birth cert for its info on her parents

Births Sep 1902

I wonder if this is Alice's birth:-

First name(s) ALICE MARY
Last name WOOLLEY
Birth year 1902
Birth quarter 2
Registration month -
Mother's last name -
District BARROW IN FURNESS
County Lancashire
Country England
Volume 8E

This could be the correct quarter of 1902 for a birthday in March.

Kath. x

She was born in March


First name(s) ALICE MARY
Last name LIDGETT
Gender Female
Birth day 13
Birth month 3
Birth year 1902
Age -

So more likely this birth born mid March registered in April so would be June qtr

Forget the Baptism I posted. That's not her..........she is unmarried with her mother on the 1930 Electoral Roll.

Possible family in 1901

This is the 1911 which Gerald thinks is her:

Estimated birth year: abt 1902
Relation to Head: Boarder
Gender: Female

Ernest Weawell 22
Alice Woolley 9


I wonder why she was boarding with this family?

EDIT:
But if we think the one born in Barrow is the right one, then that's not her.

What has been your starting point, Gerald?

The marriage record in 1924, or the 1911 census entry? Which one is definitely your Alice?

You may be talking about two different Alices.

EDIT:
Although, having said that, I don't see an Alice born in Barrow in the 1911 census.

Brother Andrew he is also now in Coventry

So if the one you are looking for was married to Reginald Clarke then she wasn't born in Birmingham

Nora's baptism........

Nora Wooley in the England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
Name: Nora Wooley
Gender: Female
Baptism Date: 23 May 1899
Baptism Place: Barrow, Lancashire, England
Father: Alfred Wooley
Mother: Alice Anne

Assuming you've come across Alice via researching Reg Clarke, Gerald, then you definitely need her marriage cert in order to establish her father's name.


This one could also be a possibility:

Births Mar 1902 (>99%)
Woolley Alice Rochdale 8e 15

EDIT:
Well, maybe not - the school record with her birth date and father's name Alfred looks conclusive.

This looks to be Alice's baptism........

It states May instead of Mary...

Alice May Wooley in the England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
Name: Alice May Wooley
Gender: Female
Baptism Date: 1 May 1902
Baptism Place: Barrow, Lancashire, England
Father: Alfred Wooley
Mother: Alice

I can't see any of the 1901 Barrow family in 1911.

No I can't either. Wherever they are daughter Alice is probably with them.
