What happened to Alice Hooper?
« on: Sunday 30 July 23 14:51 BST (UK) »
Looking for some inspiration.

Alice Hooper was born on 13 Dec 1875 at 217 Green Street Bethnal Green. She is with her parents Henry George Hooper and Ellen (Stent) in the 1881 and 1891 census at 225 Green Street Bethnal Green. In 1901 census I believe it is her as a visitor to Charles Bigge and his family at 144 Queens Road Hackney.

After that - nothing. I think she is still alive on 24 April 1907. Her brother Alfred was in the army when he died in India, and Alice received a share of money owed to him by the army. And I've looked for census, death, marriage and emigration without success.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Martin

Is she not with her parents in Hackney 1911 or is that a different family  :-\

Henry Hooper 57
Ellen 55
Alice 32
Ellen 28
Rose 20
Elsie 10

The names seem to fit - Rose & Ellen are on earlier census
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

Unfortunately no. Her name appears in the army register of soldier's effects as a beneficiary (along with her mother and three brothers). I am surprised that the effects didn't all go to the mother, but maybe Alfred left a will.

thanks

Hello Milliepede

Her brothers were Alfred(b.1878), Henry(1882), George (1888), and Albert (1892).

Her father Henry George died in 1893.

That 1911 census is a different family.
