Brief biography

Alice Maude Woodhurst was born at Edmonton on September 11th 1912 to parents Frederick George Woodhurst and his wife Maud(e) Julia (nee) Dover [Birth Index: Edmonton 3a 1187, 1912 (Dec)].

She married Walter Tom D. Chick in 1934 [Marriage Index: Edmonton 3a 2724, 1934 (Sept)]. He was born in 1910 [Birth Index: Edmonton 3a 655, 1910 (June)]. His last forename may have been Daniel.

Electoral Registers for the 1930s find them living at various addresses in Enfield. However, the National Register for England and Wales 1939 finds Walter in the household of his mother-in-law Maud(e) Julia at 21, St. Martin's Road in Edmonton, occupied as a bricklayer and mistakenly recorded as single. Meanwhile, Alice Maude was living or staying at 30, Page Road in Clacton, Essex. Her birthdate was entered as September 11th 1912 and she was not in paid employment. It is possible that she had gone there in connection with her confinement with her second child Brenda.

Walter died aged "71" in 1981 [Death Index: Swindon 23 2074, 1981 (Sept)]. His Probate Register entry gives his address as 13, Caversham Close, Swindon and the date of his death as August 15th 1981. Probate was granted on August 25th, his effects not exceeding £25,000.

Alice Maude died aged "80" in 1993 [Death Index: Swindon C40B 7961C Entry No. 139, 1993 (May)]. Her Probate Register entry gives her address as 13, Caversham Close, Swindon and the date of her death as May 18th 1993. Administration was granted on August 23rd, her effects not exceeding £125,000.
