Thanks for that, Julie. They all have her born about 1783, parents unknown, and dying 21 May 1863 at Oswaldtwistle. That death is on Lancs BMD with age 80, but there are a few other possibles on there:
1854 Blackburn age 73, 1854 Darwen age 75, 1860 Darwen age 82, 1863 Blackburn age 78. The burial of the 1854 Blackburn one is on Lancs OPC and she is widow of James, the 1863 Blackburn one is wife of John, the 1863 Oswaldtwistle one just says "abode Cross".
This is presumably the Alice who died in Oswaldtwistle, on the 1861 census:
9 The Cross, Golden Cross Inn, Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire
Thomas Duxbury Head Widr 57 Grocer & Publican Lancaster Over Darwen
Alice Do Mother Wid 77 Do Do
Susannah Holden Sister Mar 45 House Servant Do Do
Sarah Do Niece Un 12 Do Do Do Haslingden
Catherine Jolly Sister in Law Wid 61 Do Do Do Oswaldtwistle
Isabella Yates Lodger Mar 55 Farmers Wife Do Over Darwen
My Alice had a son Thomas born 1804 at Grimehills, Lancashire, so it looks promising. I will trace him back and see if it checks out.
