She remarried and became someone completely different. I believe she deserted timothy after the marriage and birth of henry. .she became a career criminal and spent years in and out of prison for perjury and fraud
She married my 3x great grandfather and had a family and died in Staffordshire, finally as Louisa Jane corton

Betton, I immediately recognised the name Alice Grey and her aliases, I had read about her a few years ago.  I have no connection with her in my family. I became aware of her when one of my ancestors was robbed by 2 lads, I was searching for more newspaper reports using the names of the 2 lads when I saw their names in a court case which also involved Alice Grey.  She was such a character that I looked for more newspaper articles about her, she does make fascinating reading  ;D

It's a minefield. She accused the poor boys of mugging her, and is almost successful. However in a scene straight out of Ealing comedy, as the police are graciously escorting her to railway station. Two reporters recognise her, one of them was at a court case the week before pulling the same stunt in Birmingham. They speak to the police ( who by now have serious egg on their faces) and she is arrested.then photographic identification kicks in, she is identified as Anastasia Carter, Anastasia Huggard, Mary Ann o Brian, Jane Tureau, Anastasia finlary  Anastasia Brazil,  Anastasia macarthy.  And Alice Grey

After the prison sentence, she makes her way to Staffordshire and Derbyshire and called herself, Ann Shaw, and to my 3x great grandfather as Louisa Jane.
Even after her marriage she's still addicted to being a complete menace
