First of all I support Paul's comments. Secondly I have looked at this case and decided to start by looking at baptisms with names similar to the ones given. I appreciate that this is a long shot but here goes:

First of all a baptism:
Year: 1865
Month: Mar
Day: 1
Parents_Surname: MALSON
Child_Forenames: Alice
Fathers_Forenames: Richard
Mothers_Forenames: Caroline
Mothers_Surname:
Residence: Mitcheldean
Occupation: Miner
Officiating_Minister: C E Dighton Rector
Event: Baptism
Memoranda: [Daughter of]
Notes:
Register_Reference: P220 IN 1/4
Page_Number: 27
Parish_Chapel: Mitcheldean

Then the first available Census:

1871 Census
Household schedule number Given Name Surname Relationship Age Estimated Birth Year Gender Birth City Birth County Birth Country
19 Thos Brepryton Head 45 1826 Male Colesbourne Gloucestershire England
19 Sarah Brepryton Wife 44 1827 Female Mitcheldean
19 Janet Brepryton Daughter 16 1855 Female Coberley Wiltshire England
19 Ellen Brepryton Daughter 14 1857 Female Coberley Wiltshire England
19 Thom Brepryton Son 12 1859 Male Coberley Wiltshire England
19 George Brepryton Son 10 1861 Male Coberley Wiltshire England
19 Angus Brepryton Daughter 8 1863 Coberley Wiltshire England

19 Caroline Matson Visitor 38 1833 Female Mitcheldean Gloucestershire England
19 Alice Matson Visitor 6 1865 Female Mitcheldean Gloucestershire England

This tells us that father is not with the family so we look for a burial:

Next the 1881 Census and we find Alice in the area in which she married:
