Her birth was registered in the Rotherham district, in the June quarter 1908. She was brought up by Hannah Asbery, her grandmother, and later by Cissie. She went nurse training, with her uniform etc (£30) paid for by her aunt, Mary Jane and George Nelson. At one stage, Alice worked for the firm of Ellis, Son and Paramore at Sheffield, which made equipment for the disabled. Alice married Tom Clarke and they settled at Derby. However Tom and Alice later separated and were divorced. She may have been a matron at Derby Royal Infirmary and subsequently was an assistant to an orthopaedic surgeon. Alice then married Frank Warner (before 1965), who worked in an ironmongers at Derby. In 1965 she and Frank were living at 26 Vincent Street Derby. After retirement they moved to live in the Almshouses of St Cross, at Winchester. Frank died there and it is thought that Alice suffered from dementia and was moved to an institution at Basingstoke, where she died and is thought to have been buried. There is a likely entry in the GRO death indexes for Alice Warner (born 5 May 1908) in the Basingstoke district, in the month of December 1989.
