I just googled....evans consular constable china.

The above web address gave me a newspaper archive article from 1903 which tells of the murder of a Mr Evans on board a ship and says he had married a Chinese lady!!

Your first area for research would be the Overseas Birth Index for Alice as her father would have been a British Subject.

As far as I am aware the Overseas Birth Indices are now all pay to view so hopefully someone has access and is willing to do a search.

Good Luck
