In 1881, Alice Blaber, 6 years of age, was shown residing at Bell Green, 1 Crown Terrace, Sydenham, Lewisham, London, England. Other family members included: Fanny Blaber, 28, dressmaker; Flora Blaber, 11 months; and Thomas Blaber, 29, labourer/gas works. (Source: 1881 Census of England; Class: RG11; Piece: 739; Folio: 115; Page: 8; GSU roll: 1341172.)

In 1901, Alice H. Scates, 25, is shown residing at Cavan, Durham, Ontario, Canada, along with her husband, Henry J. Scates, 27, farm labourer. Her date of birth is shown as August 10, 1875, and her immigration year as 1885.
