The district is perfectly reasonable to think that it could be her death.
The only way to prove or disprove is to buy that certificate.

In answer to your original post, if the 1932 possible is your Alice, there is no corresponding birth or death of a child, so it may not have lived.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

I'm going on what my aunt said she heard when she was a kid about 60 years ago, maybe she's got it wrong, but I thought I would have at least found Alice's death records, even as an older person, but I can't find that either. What do you think ? I don't know much else about her. Sometimes memories from living replies get mixed up don't they. X

That's very true. Quite often there is some truth in family stories, whether it has been mixed up with age, to embellish the story, or to hide some other fact.
Have you tried checking electoral rolls or newspapers for Alice? Or if there are no other likely candidates in the death indexes, you might want to take a punt on the 1932 one, as PaulineJ has suggested.

This sounds very familiar to a family story about my Grandad's sister, who died after being turned out of the family home after an argument with her husband in a bleak winter.

It turned out that she was committed to the Lunatic Asylum and died many years after the family story.
