Brief biography

Alice Woodhurst was born at Sittingbourne in 1881 [Birth Index: Milton 2a 849, 1881 (June)] of parents Daniel Woodhurst and Priscilla Hales.

In 1884 she emigrated with her mother and siblings to America, sailing from Liverpool on the City of Montreal and arriving at Michigan on July 26th 1884.

Around 1899-1900 she married William Orlo Williams, who was born in the 1870s.

The US 1900 Census finds her living with just her husband in Summit township, Jackson County in Michigan. William was working as a labourer. The record states that they had been married for less than a year and that Alice had immigrated in 1883 (but actually 1884).

The US 1910 Census finds her at age 29 living with her husband and their first two children in Summit township. William was working as an odd-job labourer.

Descendants' reports state the following: she was born on March 13th 1881, produced the three children listed below and died on June 29th 1967.
