Look-Up Request: Where is Alice Stevens.? No Birth Reg, Baptism etc..

[TheOnlyRogueAngel]

Edwin Stevens and Nancy Gilbert (Crumpler) Stevens have seven children. All but one have a Christian name and a second name, one even has a third name. All but one have a Birth Registration, a baptism record and are registered on census returns. All except Alice. Alice is on the 1881 census, but that's it. I can't find a Birth registration for her, a baptism record for her and no death record that would align with her birth year of 1874. I've tried searching with Alice as a second name but still come up empty. I've tried just the parents' names and Alice comes up on the 1881 census, but that's it.

Could somebody please check to see if there's an Alice Stevens with mmn Crumpler born in or before 1874 in the Portsmouth area of Hampshire.?

Thank you.

@Bookbox, Thank you, but that Alice died in 1876. The Alice I'm looking for was on the 1881 census.

How sure are you that the Alice Stevens who died in the 4th quarter of 1876 in Portsea is the same person whose birth was registered as Alice Mary Stevens in 1873 in Portsea? Do you have the 1876 death certificate? Could they be 2 different people?

The abode of Alice who died in 1876 age 3 was Dean Street

In 1881 John Stevens and his wife Margaret were at 2 Dean st.  They had a daughter Amelia

This looks like the birth of that Alice

@Bookbox, I've been working through each of the Alice Stevens' born between 1870 and 1880 in Hampshire, checking records and genealogy site sources to try to find 'my' Alice Stevens. I have a list of the Alice's and their parents names and relevant data to exclude them from my search.

I do owe you an apology. I saw on a family tree on My Heritage that Alice Mary had died in 1876, but it turns out it was actually Alice Maud, born in the June Quarter of 1873, and the source on the tree was out of date and incorrect. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound like I was rejecting your help out of hand.

I do appreciate all the help given.

@Rosie99, thank you for looking. It took a lot of cross-checking but I've just discovered it was Alice Maud and not Alice Mary too. So I'm going to look into @Bookbox's suggestion.

No worries, no apology needed. Just keep an open mind and get as many certificates as you can. Family history that relies on indexes is prone to error.
