            <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.
