Alice Maud Platt
Birth Date: 7 Aug 1886
Age: 0
Baptism Date: 2 Sep 1886
Parish: Hulme, St Mary
Parish as it Appears: S Marys Hulme
Father's name: James Platt. <<<<<<<<<Painter
Mother's name: Alice Platt

James Platt is shown as a scenic artist at the marriage of his daughter Alice Maud to Arnold Thomas Bartlett 3/4/1920, also on the death cert of his wife Alice on 16/2/1916. Alice was 49 when she died. On that basis I am thinking James was probably born 1860 +/-10 years.

My problem is I can find nothing about James. No marriage I can identify nor any census. He was living at 25 Dante Road, Newington, London in 1916.

Any help in finding the elusive James and Alice (his wife) would be hugely appreciated and would undoubtedly stop me going mad!
