So Alice def born abt 1885.
and groom John Hunt (widower) born abt 1882, father Edwin(a miller) and maybe mother or sister Lilian.

Searching the PRs for Alice Elizabeth Ann Hunt's burial gives this possible ?;

Record_ID: 50093
Entry_Number: 486
Year: 1940
Month: Oct
Day: 1
Surname: HUNT
Forenames: Elizabeth Alice
Residence: 15 St Anns Street Chepstow
Age_at_death: 57
Officiating_Minister: Rev[erend] Canon D Hughes
Event: Burial
Cause_of_death:
Memoranda: [1][Date of death] 27.9.40 [2]Consecrated ground Plot A [number of grave] 127
Notes: Place or Parish from which the Body was brought Chepstow. Signature of Person making the Entry of Burial M Turner
Register_Reference: G

So again confirms Alice born abt 1883.

FreeBMD confirms it's our Alice;

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Deaths Sep 1940 (>99%)
Hunt Alice E A 57 Chepstow 11a 22

Sadly she lost her husband several years earlier, I wonder why so young ?
This site doesn't have an Inquest for him. Neither can my admittedly short search find any mention of his death in the BNA old newspapers site.

So suggests John was actually older than he claimed in his marriage day, born abt 1876.

No matches in the FoD PRs.

So Alice is buried in Chepstow Cemetery, Plot A, grave 127. I think this is the same cemetery but not certain.
