Have you found the couple on the 1851 census, which should give her POB? |

This is where you got her year of birth? Ages were rounded down to multiples of 5 for the purpose of the 1841 census only. So the 1851 census posted may be more accurate. |

Several possible baptisms in Manchester area, but none in Kersley or Deane. |

Alice was born in 1796 so I doubt this is correct sorry |

According to lancsopc, Kearsley is in the parish of Deane; no baptism records are on there after 1750. |

Looking at the 1851 census her birth year is c1792. My gut feeling is that the 1792 birth is your Alice. Do you know when she died please? |

Interestingly, there seem to have been no Greenwoods baptised or married in Deane between 1764 and 1802, which makes the Radcliffe baptisms seem quite likely. |
