Born today in 1861in Woolwich, my 2xgt.aunt, Alice Agnes Pain; daughter of Charles George and Mary Jane (nee Ottley). 1881 census finds Alice working as an assistant nurse in Woolwich Workhouse. Later that year she married Harry Lance in Lambeth. A daughter was born in 1882. Alice later worked as a midwife. In 1904 Alice divorced Harry and the following year married James Paling. Alice and James emigrated to Western Australia. Alice died in 1941 and is buried in Manjimup, WA. James remarried 6 years later and died in Perth in 1960.
Nanny Jan: I love the way you have done this, and I am thinking I shall try to discipline myself to open a year book and write a paragraph for each ancestor in a similar way.
QUESTION: can anyone suggest an on-line year book that is easy to use please?
