Alice MASON, daughter of Benjamin and Milinda (probably written wrong on the census and should be Malinda, as she went on to have a daughter with my Great-Grandfather Henry Aaron Simmonds who they named Ada Malinda, also think her Grandmother may have been Malinda Mason) as below in 1881 census:

(Sorry I realise there is a big previous thread but couldn't post a reply).

1881
Benjamin Mason abt 1843 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Head Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire
Milinda Mason abt 1845 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Wife Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire
Alice Mason abt 1873 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire
Edwin Mason abt 1879 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Son Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire
Eliza Mason abt 1867 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire
Ellen Mason abt 1869 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire s
Ernest Mason abt 1876 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Son Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire
George Mason abt 1871 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Son Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire
Lewis Mason East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Son Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire
Meada Mason abt 1879 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire

I wonder what relation Alice would have been to Winifred Mason/Foley, if any?
I have read over the threads and there is so much info, and so many Masons that I'm now confused as to which Benjamin is which!

I had bought one of Winifred's books a while ago but hadn't got round to reading it yet, would be interested to see if there is any connection.

The Masons lived in Brierley, my Great-Grandfather married Alice, who died in 1910. He then married Mabel Mills (my Great-Grandmother) who also lived in Brierley (daughter of Daniel & Henrietta Mills). I have found many relatives in Brierley alone, which I believe is one long stretch of road where the Swan Inn still stands.

Any information gratefully received!
