Alice is Kingsmill "D13" in the extensively researched Kingsmill Records^[1]

Alice would have been born between 1525 and 1531 based on life events and sources outlined in the "KIngsmill Records"

Married at Sydmonton on 24 June 1563^[2] to The Right Reverend James Pilkington, Bishop of Durham.^[3]

Date of death is sometimes quoted as 25 June 1594 but this is the date of her will which was proved on the 23 April 1595. She was buried on 21 Mar 1594/95 at St Giles, Cripplegate, London, so her death is shown as March 1595.^[4]

In her PCC will when a Widow of London, she makes bequests to her son-in-law Sir Henry Harrington; to Ann Harrington his eldest daughter; to Wilham Dunche, son of her daughter Deborah, in remembrance of her son-in-law Walter Dunche his late father; to all the children of her two daughters, as well the said Ann and William as the rest; to her two daughters the Lady Ruth Harrington and Deborah Dunche she leaves the residue.^[5]
