              <text>Reverend Alan Williams attended several local CUWFA meetings with his wife Annie. The CUWFA formed in 1908 to work peacefully and constitutionally for ‘the removal of the sex disqualification from the franchise’ by bringing Conservative and Unionist’s together. The two travelled together to London in June 1911 to take part in the Women's Coronation Procession organised jointly by suffrage societies as an alternative to the Kings official procession from which women were excluded. The Reverend's daughters Marjorie and Joyce may also have been active in the suffrage movement.</text>

              <text>Alice was born Alice Mary Mills in Liverpool in 1878 where she worked in the post office and was an active suffragette. She married Henry Dax and moved to Eastwood, Nottingham, where he ran a chemist shop. The couple were friends of forward-thinking local socialists such as William and Sallie Hopkin, and D H Lawrence. The character Clara Dawes in the latter’s novel ‘Sons and Lovers’ is thought to be based on Alice Dax. Both Alice and Sallie attended meetings in Nottingham city where Enid Hilton, the Hopkin’s daughter, remembers waving white, purple and green flags and listening to the speakers including the Pankhurst’s who they also had to stay. Alice became a well-known name in the district giving suffrage speeches and initiating various schemes other schemes including local nursing associations and local forms of health insurance. Perhaps because of Alice’s overt political leanings trade dropped off in Eastwood and so by 1911 the couple relocated just north of Nottingham to Shirebrook, Mansfield. This is where we find Alice living in 1911 in Station Road, complying with the census, and listing her occupation as ‘assisting in the business’ (see image). It is not yet clear where exactly on Station Road Alice's residence was and so the current map location is approximate. Alice emigrated to Australia in her seventies, where her son was living, and she died there aged 81. Researched and contributed by Nottingham Women's History group www.nottinghamwomenshistory.org.uk.

              <text>Born to a middle-class family in Cheshire Alice moved to Nottingham on marriage to Benjamin Dowson a solicitor (1870 set up Dowson and in 1874 Dowson and Wright) with whom she had 10 children by the age of 34. Alice a Liberal, was active in various social and political matters. She spent four hours in the market place listening to debates re the election in 1866; was active in the campaign to repeal the Contagious Diseases Act; in March 1869 in campaigning to protect women’s property rights and sat on a committee working to allow women to be appointed as Poor Law Guardians. In the 1870s and 1880s, Alice attended various women’s suffrage meetings and became secretary of the Nottingham Women’s Suffrage Society in 1894 though she handed over to her daughter in law Nellie in 1896 due to ill health. In 1906, Alice and Ben moved to Sulney Fields, Upper Boughton near Melton Mowbray (map position approximate) where they were still resident in 1911 as was daughter and suffragist (see) Maud Dowson. Later, the extended family rented a property in Salcombe in Devon which they later brought, and it remained in the family for over 100 years. We know a lot about her activities as her granddaughter published Alice’s diaries ‘What Grandmother said’.

              <text>Alice was born in Lutterworth, Leicestershire. In the 1890s, she lived with her brother (a cycle manufacturer) and his wife and children, but by 1901 seems to have moved in with her sister's family. By 1911, they were living at 46 Shaftesbury Road, Coventry. Alice was likely responsible for getting the suffragette WSPU branch in Coventry started some time in late spring of 1908, serving as both secretary and President in its early days. That year (and by then residing in Queens Road) Alice was the only woman representing Coventry in a deputation of women who travelled to London to see the Prime Minister to put the votes for women case to him. The PM refused to speak with them. So, the women reassembled at nearby Caxton Hall where it was decided to return to Parliament Square to protest at this refusal. There, the women were prevented by police and scuffles broke out leading to Alice's arrest for obstruction. In a postcard home, she claimed not to have been arrested for obstruction, but for simply trying to address the crowd. Like the more than 20 other women arrested that day, she was offered the choice of a fine or imprisonment. Alice elected to serve the cause by going to prison and spent one month in Holloway. She was released with 15 other suffragettes on the 31st of July. The women were met at the gate by crowds of well wishers including WSPU leaders Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst with bouquets and a brass band before being whisked by wagonette to a celebratory breakfast. Upon returning to Coventry, Alice was invited to speak about her experiences to local votes for women supporters at St Peter's Vicarage by (see) Rev. Percy Widdrington. At the meeting she said 'she did not regret her month in Holloway. She was not at all a penitent prisoner. She went to prison because it seemed to her the only way, or at any rate the best way, in which she could help the movement'. In 1909, she seems to have officially left the Coventry WSPU who gifted Alice an enameled pendant as 'a token of their high regard and affection' and for the suffering she had endured in prison. Alice's reason for leaving is unclear, but she thanked them for the gift and 'assured them that the hardest thing to do for the cause was to do nothing'. She continued to take an interest in the campaign and attend meetings. In 1911 she complied with the census, choosing not to take part in the wider suffragette boycott of the survey that year. Thereafter, and like many suffrage campaigners, she slips into obscurity. Alice died in January 1945 aged 82, and was still resident in Coventry. Researcher: Tara Morton.

              <text>Alice was born in Cleveland in 1881, but went to live with her Aunt and Uncle in Manchester. There, she qualified as a mathematics teacher and worked alongside Teresa Billington (later Billington-Greig) at Stockwell College. Probably late in 1903, Alice joined the WSPU with Billington, but soon became unhappy with the autocratic way the Pankhurst's were running the WSPU and its weakening of ties with the  Labour Party. Alice was a lifelong Labour Party member and committed to democratic ideals, so she left the WSPU along with Billington (and about a quarter of existing WSPU members) to form a new suffrage society - the Women's Freedom League (WFL) in 1907. Alice became an organiser for the WFL in Middlesbrough and largely due to her work there the society thrived. The WFL campaigned for women’s rights well into the 1960s and Alice became vice president in the 1930s. Alice was arrested in 1909 and sentenced to a months imprisonment for 'obstructing police' whilst taking part in a deputation to the House of Commons. She married Charles Coates, a successful coal exporter, in 1910 after he shielded her from physical attack at an open-air suffrage meeting. It is at their Middlesbrough home 'Wilstrop House' along with their daughter (they went on to have two further children) and a servant that we find the couple in 1911, where Alice resists the census that year as part of the suffrage boycott. Charles notes that the female residents of the house refuse to provide details - 'until women are enfranchised' so the census official takes it upon himself to add as much detail about the women in the house as he can. Alice's sister in law (see )Marion Coates-Hanson lived in the same street and also boycotted the census. Alice remained politically active and by 1919, had become the first woman councillor for Middlesbrough, working to improve employment and living conditions for the local community. In 1951, aged 69, Alice was actively distributing leaflets advocating women's equal pay for equal work. The Equal Pay Act was granted five years before her death in 1975.&#13;

              <text>Alice Vickery (1834-1929) became, in 1873, the first woman in Britain to qualify as a Chemist and Druggist. In the same year she qualified as a midwife, and went to study at the University of Paris, as no British medical school at the time admitted women. In 1880 she was one of the first five women to qualify as a doctor at the London Medical School for Women. She practised among the poor of south London and was a pioneer adviser on contraception. Alice was sometimes referred to as Dr Alice Drysdale Vickery. Although they appear never to have married, Charles Robert Drysdale, Senior Physician at the Metropolitan Free Hospital, London, was known as her husband. He became the first President of the Malthusian League, founded in 1877 to promote birth control, Alice succeeding him in this position on his death in 1907. In 1898 the National British Women’s Temperance Association’s Woman’s Signal published Alice’s translation of the 1790 essay The Political Rights of Women by Nicolas, Marquis de Condorcet, one of the leading thinkers of the French Revolution. Alice also wrote for the 1890s feminist periodical Shafts. She was an early subscriber to the National Society for Women’s Suffrage, subsequently moving from the NUWSS to the WSPU, then to the WFL and the WTRL. In 1908 she was a WFL delegate to the Congress of the International Women’s Suffrage Alliance in Amsterdam and became President of the Herne Hill and West Norwood WFL branch, lending her drawing room at 28 Carson Road, Dulwich, for weekly meetings. In 1911 Alice moved to 47 Rotherwick Road, Hampstead Garden Suburb, to live next door to her son, Dr Charles Vickery Drysdale, and Bessie Ingman, known as Mrs Drysdale. A meeting was held in her house to form the Hendon Women’s Franchise Society; speaking engagements elsewhere included a talk to the Actresses Franchise League on ‘The Injustices and Inequalities of Marriage Laws’ in company with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, President of the Divorce Law Reform Union. Alice evaded the 1911 Census and by 1913 had become a tax resister, having a gold and opal ring distrained after refusing to pay her rates. The Hendon Women’s Franchise Society was affiliated to the United Suffragists, formed in early 1914, and meetings at 47 Rotherwick Road were held in support of a successful woman District Council election candidate in March 1914 and, in September 1918, to protest about women being ineligible to stand for Parliament. Alice participated too in the suffragist demand to repeal Regulation 40D, introduced late in the War to allow for a woman to be remanded and imprisoned for the transmission of VD to a member of the forces. Moving to Brighton in 1923, Alice continued to be an active member of the WFL, speaking on the need to reform the laws concerning marriage and parenthood, and being elected President of the Brighton and Hove branch in 1925. Her death at the beginning of 1929 was marked by a full front-page obituary in Vote.

              <text>Alice was the younger sister to (see) Helen Kirkpatrick Watts. Her father was the Vicar of Holy Trinity church in Lenton, Nottingham, and both he and his wife were known supporters of the East Midlands Federation of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. He had allowed suffrage meetings to be held in the church hall. When Helen became an active suffragette and was arrested and imprisoned in Holloway she made sure that her sisters at home at the vicarage, Alice and  Ethel, received the Votes for Women newspaper. We do not know what Alice's activities were except that on the 1911 census form she is listed as the ‘Secretary of Suffragist Society’ and may therefore have occupied a paid position with the local NUWSS.
