Hi I'm looking for any information about Alice read 1863.
She is my 2nd great grandmother. I know she was married to Thomas Higgins and have found the marriage record on this site which says her father was James Read. But when looking for her on other sites the Alice read 1863 I find has a mother's maiden name as Price/Cox/fox as I think she was married again.
I then look for a price marrying a price/fox/Cox and it comes up with Elijah not James.
Any help much appreciated as if hit a brick wall.
Thanks

As you state Alice’s mother did marry twice and it is listed as follows:

and I suspect that Alice’s brother James gave her away at the wedding. But we need further evidence that Alice’s father is Elijah and this can be achieved by obtaining a copy of the birth certificate. However when we look at the marriage of Alice’s youngest sister Mary Ann to Albert Brain in 1890 at Drybrook we find that her father is Elijah and the witnesses were Thomas and Alice Higgins. Also if you look at the 1891 Census you will find that Alice Higgins and John H Reed (her brother) are neighbours.

Thank you that has helped me a lot. I just couldn't get my head around it. I am going to get her birth certificate as I have a few I need to get.
Thanks again
