Hi Nigel,
I've found your Alice on the 1871:
Worcester, St. Peter.
43 John St.
Jane Barnett H W 27 Gloveress Herefordshire, Bosbury
John H. Barnett 14 Moulder Do Bosbury
Annie E. Barnett 12 Scholar Do Ledbury
James Barnett 6 Do Do Ledbury
Alice M. Barnett 3 Do Worcestershire, Worcester
Kate Barnett 2mth Do Do
RG10/3052 Folio 151 Page 26
So now you know for sure that Jane was a widow in 1871. I
I have never seen "gloveress" as an occupation, have you? I do know that Worcester was the glove capital of the UK though.
Hope this helps,
How's your weather?
Cheers, India in a sunny California
