Death Date for Alice Baker (b.1887) m. Charles Ernest Smith
« on: Monday 29 July 24 19:45 BST (UK) »
Dear Forum,

I'm looking for a possible death date for Alice Baker (b.1887) who married Charles Ernest Smith in March 1910 in Aston, Birmingham. I can't decipher which of the Alice Smith's would be the correct date!

Many thanks,
Darren
BAKER, MACDONALD, BOOCOCK, TEMME.

It looks like 1911 she is Alice Baker Smith with husband

BAKER, ALICE  ELIZA  mmn   MARSH 
GRO Reference: 1887  S Quarter in WEST BROMWICH  Volume 06B  Page 722

1939 same area as 1911 (yob for Charles looks like 1885 not 1881)

Possible if stayed in area

Deaths Dec 1951   
SMITH    Alice E    64    W.Bromwich    9b   717    

Wrong middle name of Ethel
