General Notes
In 1861 Alice (4) was in Westhoughton with parents James and Jane and aged 14 in 1871, born Westhoughton.
In Q2 1877, Alice Mather married Joseph Hilton at Bolton (need a copy of Marriage Cert to confirm correct Alice) but seems very likely as first two children named after her closest surviving siblings..
In 1881, Alice Hilton (23) was described as the daughter of Alice Hilton (60, head), with her first two sons Jeffrey (3) and Joseph (7mo). Birth records confirm the mother's maiden name was Mather. Joseph was absent.
The family emigrated to Iowa, USA before Reuben was born in 1886.
Alice and
Joseph were married in a civil ceremony in June 1877 in
Bolton.
