After saying that Wm snr didn't have a daughter named Alice, I have looked again at the 1901 census and she is listed there. I don't know how I missed her, but I did.  I think that I must agree with amondg that Alice was illegitimate and is one of the two 2 born in 1898. That all makes the Wm Britt family suggested by Rosie to be more likely, but for Wm's age being different. I need to do some research on the address given to see if that can provide any clues.

Mary Ann (Crockett) born 1879 Wolverhampton married Wm Hy Brittain 04/1900

Thanks for the continuing interest.
