Alice Gertrude Priday b: 1879 Hempsted, Gloucester
M: 1897 - Hempsted, Gloucester to John Tremble Fildes b: 1878 Ulverston, Lancs d: 1960 Gloucester
Travels to Australia sometime after 1924 and I believe that she may have stayed.
I would be grateful if some kind person could help with providing info of Alice in Australia.
TIA

If you are after information on her in Australia would this be better posted on the Australia boards :-\
The moderators will move it for you if you ask, just select 'report to moderator' in the corner of your post

Do you have info about her husband John. He appears to have set up a relationship and children with another women from 1921/2 onwards.

Hi John,
Yes thank you I found that information earlier today. Elizabeth Wheeler M: 1950
Now sorting through their children - from what I can find I think 3 - possibly 4 of them went to Australia. Agnes Elvira, Frank, Jack and I'm not sure about Lillie/Lily. More work to be done.
Thanks
Tilly
