Aged 31 on 1851 census when married to much older James Brooks
Aged 41 on 1861 census
Aged 51 on 1871 census

Don't confuse with Alice, daughter of Samuel and Ellen, Christened 3-Oct-1819 in Bolton, or Alice daughter of William and Elizabeth baptised Cathedral, Manchester 29-Sep-1822 (but also indexed with Samuel and Alice as parents)

Older brother Isaac was baptised at Ridgway Gates in 1810.  The Bolton Library baptism records for Ridgway Gates finish at 1814, and the only other records for there which have been deposited are burials records.

Christening 21 Feb 1819, Manchester Cathederal.  This is another person, same parents names, but this Samuel's from Manchester, the parish glazier and birth 1y too early to match census?
