• General Notes
  • Alice was baptised "Alice Daughter of Margaret Mather, Darcey Lever, Spinster".
    
    Alice and Mary were on the 1841 census living with James and Margaret Brooks and family.  These are the daughters of Margaret Mather when she was a spinster.  Thee are no records of the girls getting married (1841-51) and recording James Brooks as their father, so what happened to them?
    
    In 1851 Alice was a servant at Farnworth (aged 20, born Darcy Lever).
    
    31 Dec 1854, Alice may be the "Alice Brooks", daughter of James Brooks who married Thomas Helme.  Alice Helme, (possibly wife of Moses so another) born Little Lever, died in 1901, aged 70
