Notes to Caroline BICKERSTAFF, Alice was born on 18 Jan 1875.
According to Caroline BICKERSTAFF, Alice left James and infant son William at some point. The family has always understood that she did sometimes watch her son from a distance as he played in the school yard. His name was William Leon Messer, born 21 JUL 1897 in Lowell, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
According to the 1920 Census, Alice was widowed, living in Boston, and renting a room from Catherine SHEPHERD.

Perhaps our Alice is the Alice M. SULLIVAN living in Boston in Apr 1940. She rented an apartment for $45 per month at 1376 Commonwealth Ave, where she had also lived in Apr 1935. She worked as a Clerk/Typist for an Accounting firm, where she made $2100 in 1939. She stated that she had graduated from high school. This Alice did say she was single and wasborn in Massachusetts in about 1880.
The Alice from 1940 is likely also the Alice M. SULLIVAN living in Boston in Apr 1930. She rented an apartment for $50 per month at 1990 Commonwealth Ave. She worked as a Clerk in Stocks & Bonds. This Alice was also single and was born inNew Hampshire in about 1880 to parents whowere born in Ireland.
Unless something changed between her freewheeling youth and 1930, neither of these seems to fit what we know about our Alice.
Looking back even further toJan 1920, we find the new Alice living in Boston as a Lodger with Ella A. Stratton. She worked as a Bookkeeper fora Banker. She was also single and was born in New Hampshire in about 1881 to parents born in New Hampshireand Ireland.
So we are back to the drawing board with finding Alice after 1920. Perhaps she married again and could be found under a different last name.
