I'm looking for relations of Alice, who was a very good friend of my grandmother, they were so close that they were almost like sisters. As you can see, Alice died in 1929 when she was 36, presumably never having been married or had children.  For this reason I'd like to locate any relatives as I have their family Bible and would love to return it to the family.

This is what I've been able to work out so far:


Alice Melina Cary
Born: 10/10/1892 46 Queen Street, Scarborough
Parents: George Cary and Elizabeth Thompson
1901 Census: Scarborough: George WT, 46; Elizabeth J, 47; Alice M 18 (!), scholar.
1911 Census: with parents in Scarborough.
George William Thompson Cary, 56; Elizabeth Jane, 57; Alice Melina, 18. (perhaps Alice's older brother had left home by then).
Died: 1929, aged 36.

Father:
George William Thompson Cary
Born: 13/12/1854 London;
Parents William Frederick Cary (d 1900) and Melina Fall (d 1885)
Siblings: Matilda b 1858; Frederick b 1860.
