Only possible marriage I can see is this one:

1933 Jun qr Manchester South registration district
vol 8d pg 359
Alice M Corris & Sidney Whittaker

Unfortunately, it's not possible to say whether this is your ggaunt without buying a copy certificate or looking at the parish register

There is also the death of an Alice M Corris in Aldershot, Jun qr 1941. Aged 55 (but it's possible the informant did not know her age or that it's an Alice who married a Corris.

vol 2c pg 457

Great thanks! Really appreciate your help!

Hello Sharon - what were her parent's names?

It's just that there's a tree on Ancestry has a lady of the same name b c1882 on IoM, daughter of William Edward Corris and Margaret Moore.

They have her as going to Australia and marrying a William Benjamin Tasker.

If you give some more details about her I'll dig a bit more.

This appears to be her in 1891.

Great thanks to you all!

Alviegal - yes that is the right Alice!

MarieCeleste - do you think it is her going to Australia?

Wow this is fab!

I'm always a bit mistrustful of trees on ancestry that have no back up!
