Thanks to help from Rootschat I am progressing with my family tree and discovering that family stories aren't necessarily true!
My latest is the death of the above lady, age 50 in 1921. Supposedly she was in a road accident and killed. They lived in Pendlebury at the time but my great gran said the accident was at St. Michaels bridge.......wherever that may be...where Alice was in a cart and the horse bolted tossing her over the bridge. I have looked in newspaper archives but so far have found nothing to prove or disprove this 'story'.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Happy New Year too!
