I don't know if she remarried, I know her father was a painter, there was another sister Emily, I think she was born between Miriam and Alice and she ended up in Maidstone Kent with her husband and children.

Thank you all again for all this information.

Shirley, thank you.
I reached a bit of a dead end with my family at the moment so I thought I'd work on my husband's but his is nearly as complicated as mine. lol
