I'm tying myself in knots trying to find where Alice Redhead came from. I have a birth date of 8.5.1866 from family, but can't find a birth record for that date, she was born in Worksop/or E Retford/ or Ratcliff?. I think I have her living with her aunt Hannah Webster (nee Woodward?) in 1871, Hannah is a widow, I thing Alice's mum (Mary?) died in 1867, her father (Samuel?) has gone to work and live on a farm. Alice next appears in service at the age of 25 in a vicarage. After that she marries James Redhead, lives in Rotherham and has my Grandmother Ethel Mary in 1897. She is widowed in 1910. I can't find a record of the marriage, I do have a record of her husbands death. Could anybody possibly varify or help with any of this?. Thanks in advance.

Alice's marriage does name her father as Samuel Woodward occ Farm Labourer. One of the witnesses was a William Woodward

Thankyou both very much, you have my full appreciation and admiration. It looks like the 1865 Worksop birth is the one, I guess my family got the date wrong. I also have a brother for Samuel called William, so that fits.
Rosie, do you have the reference for Alice's marriage, I can't find that.
Thanks again.
