Welcome to the boards, Jan.

If you can find no information about her, how can you expect living relatives to be identified - perhaps there are none?

This Alice?

Three other members have Alice (1914) in GR trees................perhaps they will be able to help you

Send contact messages..............

EDIT

Significantly, perhaps, none of them has Alice Norman (1873) in his/her GR tree.....although a completely different member does have her in her tree.............BUT she doesn't have Alice 1914

This rules out the 1908 marriage

Hi all,
Thanks for your in put. I now know My Grandmother Alice Beatrice Nowman was married to John La Mare Arrowsmith & lived in Isle of Man. on 1911 they were married there for 12years.
Registered in census. As a child, she is registered as 'Ellis' as her mother, Sarah was French so accent, you can see this.
Now just after 1911 census she left him (could keep his hands off servents) & returned to her mother in Rochester. She met my Grandfather George James Reid who was married to a Josephine Maginess who he married in Scotland . Dont know where or when?
Now George and Alice could not have been married when my Mother was born on 22.12.1914 as might have registered Mum under his wife as her mother.?!? So hence can't find a birth certificate. But they must have tied the knot sometime as when he was killed in the WW1 my Grandmother was identified as his wife and notified by letter and she received a war pension. Jan

Jan,

This says his wife was Josephine:

REID, GEORGE JAMES

Rank:
Serjeant

And this suggests her mother was Josephine:

Births Dec 1914
Reid Alice M Maginess Maidstone 2a 1605

George looks to have been born in Orkney according to census records.

Sarah was from Deptford in Kent. Where does it say she was French?

Births Jun 1854

You have been shown the birth registration for Alice........twice.

Buy the cert - £9.25 from the GRO - to see exactly what it says about her parents, and who registered the birth, and the address.
