I was just looking at IGI for a parent search. Whilst her entry doesn't show, a lot of her siblings do (all submitted entries but include details of deaths through the second half of the 20th C.).

I'll check the transcript of 1901 for her and family...

This looks to be family in 1901, but no Alice  :-\ Younger children show as born in Newhills

Henry Tobin 46, Roofing Felt Maker b. Ireland
Ellen Tobin 44 b. England
Mary A Tobin 24 b. England
Ellen M Tobin 15
Thomas Tobin 13
Margaret Tobin 12
Henry Tobin 6
Joseph Tobin 6

Address: 33, Mugiemoss Rd, Newhills, Aberdeenshire

These match with the submitted entries on IGI, although some ages may be mistranscribed:

1. Mary Elizabeth Tobin   Birth: 1877 Salford Registration Districts,Or,Salford By Manchaster,Or, Salford In Clitheroe, Lancashire, England
2. Mary Ann Tobin Birth: 1879 Salford Registration Districts,Or,Salford By Manchaster,Or, Salford In Clitheroe, Lancashire, England
3. Helen Mabel Tobin Birth: 23 APR 1885 Newhills, Aberdeen, Scotland
4. Thomas Tobin Birth: 08 MAY 1887 Bucksburn, Aberdeen, Scotland
5. Margaret Tobin Birth: 13 JAN 1889 Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland
6. John Tobin Birth: 04 MAR 1891 Bucksburn, Aberdeen, Scotland ...not sure about the next couple of entries, implies triplets  :o
7. Henry Tobin  Birth: 04 MAR 1891 Bucksburn, Aberdeen, Scotland
8. Frances Tobin Birth: 04 MAR 1891 Bucksburn, Aberdeen, Scotland
9. Henry Tobin Birth: 29 APR 1892 Bucksburn, Aberdeen, Scotland

This might well be Alice in 1901, living away from home. Birth place would fit with the oldest children of Henry and Ellen:

Margaret Williamson 49
William I Williamson 27
Alice Tobin 19, boarder, Paper Mill Worker b. England
Margaret Youngson 21

Address: 5, Seaview, Newhills

I'll just check the 1891 family entry, she should be home with family for that...

There is an Alice Tobin showing as born in 1882 - 1st Qrt. Salford, Greater Manchester - Vol. 8d, Pg. 85 as a possibility. There are a few Tobin families in the Salford censuses, so hard to be certain.

Going by the dates so far, the ages she was 1881 and 1901 census, I put Alice born in 1882. If she died in 1968 that would make her 86.

I was 11 in 1968 and I remember her well.
