If Alice May was married in 1908 I wonder where she was inthe1911 Census because I can't find her in the British Census I wonder if she went to America and then returned to this Country to h ave her children. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to my request for info. Regards Thomas.

Here they are in 1911:

This seems to be Fred's arrival in US, a month before wife & children arrived. He gives name of nearest relative as wife, Mrs. Wilcox, Wilne? Rd., Sawley, Derbyshire. He's heading to Alton, Rhode Island to join friend Sam Griffiths.

EDIT: I believe she was staying with his family before she left for US. There are Wilcoxes living on Wilne Rd., Sawley on the 1911 census.

Just nudging this up because you said that you couldn't find the family on the 1911 census. I found them and posted it 2 days ago but no response.
