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.
Married Aysgarth in1887 to Elizabeth Jane Thompson
Children:
Boy, presumably older than Alice (can't find any boy born in North Riding in that time period).
Alice, born 1892
Died: Scarborough in 1943, aged 88.

Mother:
Elizabeth Jane Thompson
Born Carperby in 1855;
Parents:
Died Scarborough 1938, aged 84.

Not sure about this site, it could turn out to be very good but it not the simplest place to navigate at present.

This looks like a helpful site:

The internet is always changing. One thing that never seems to change, however, is the difficulty that people have in conducting efficient online genealogy searches. It trips up almost everyone who looks for their ancestors. As a result, it is perhaps the most common genealogy brick wall problem of all. - See more at: http://www.genealogyintime.com/GenealogyResources/Articles/ten_innovations_in_online_genealogy_search_part1_page1.html#sthash.NrAwTeTJ.dpuf

Some family trees have beautiful leaves, and some have just a bunch of nuts. 

Remember, it is the nuts that make the tree worth shaking.
