I've just checked on what MIL said about Alice, (all taken with a pinch of salt!)

'Had a daughter who had a son. Lived in Blackpool'

I've found a daughter born in Conway in 1917, and a death for Alice in Blackpool in 1958.

So, I found the family from Blackpool, have been in touch, and the son remembers visiting Gt Auntie Eva and playing with OH and his sis. He reckons to have sorted the family tree, but there's a few bits I have doubts about.

Would someone kindly check the 1871 census again for me, there seem to be a number of couples to choose from.

John Rogers born 1839 Sandford, Shropshire
Jane Keen born 1851 Sibford Gower, Oxfordshire.
They married in Birmingham Q3 1870.
May have had a child in 1871 who died young, presumably too late for the census.
Had a daughter in 1873 in Ightfield, Shropshire
