Inscription
In Loving Memory of ALICE EMMELINE BARTON who died Oct 27 1935 aged 70 years
Alice Emmeline Barton (née French) (1865 – 27 October 1935)
Alice was the daughter of Edward and Eliza (née Martin) and was born in Melbourn just outside Cambridge. She was baptised on 2 July 1865 at St. Paul’s Church and aged 6 was living with her mother and paternal grandparents at 57 Coronation Street. In 1881 she was living with her youngest sister Minnie Florence and was working as a milliner and then moved to Sheffield where she worked as a housekeeper (1891).
Alice married James Barton (1863-1921) on 6 April 1892 at St. Andrew the Great Church. James was the son of William and Eliza and took over his father’s fishmonger at 31 St. Andrew Street. He is buried with his parents. After James died Alice worked at King’s College School on West Road (at least 1929-1932). She then moved to live at 9 Royal Albert Homes on Hills Road (1934/1935) and died aged 70 years old.
