When Alice emigrated to Canada is unknown. She evidently lived for some of her hears in Ottawa with her brother Myles, who like her never married. She is said to have had a store with Myles on Wellington St. near the present Portage Bridge.

Alice left a will which provides information on some of her relatives that is not available in other records. Her estate totaled $1158, which was not insignificant in those days. She made bequests of $100 to her unmarried nieces, Emma and Lulu Slattery, and to be divided equally between her sisters Margaret McGee, Nora Newman and Bridget Slattery.

Identification of the beneficiaries of Alice's will has required some record searching. Emma and Lulu were easily identified as the two unmarried daughters of Alice's brother William. It is very probable that Catherine McLaughlin was Catherine Slattery, the wife of Thomas McLaughlin, who is buried in Notre Dame cemetery. Her gravestone records that she died in 1903 at 44 years of age, for a birth year of 1859. Her husband was evidently alive at that time but is not buried there, unless the stone was never updated. Catherine was likely a close relative of Alice but is otherwise unidentified. Thomas Sheehan was the young man who lived with Myles. Nora Newman must be the Nora Slattery living with Myles in 1901, and recorded in the census as Myles' sister, and a widow. Her married name was evidently Newman.

The identity of Margaret McGee and Bridget Slattery has not been resolved, but some conjectures on this are given under "Other Children" .
