Jim/Thelma - that was brilliant, didn't think of Dockworth......
Did she marry a Ramshaw then, or is that a red herring?

Robert Ramshaw next door may not have been Alices father then? There is no John Tom Ramshaw on the census for next door atthat time so could be a relative of the people next door or just a coincidence.
