Alice Pointing was the mother of Frank, George, James and William Pointing. Her daughter Alice married Ernest Stevens who also appears on this site.
I know very little about Alice other than that she served, at some point anyway, as a cook with Sussex 54 VAD.
When the 1901 census was taken, she was living at Thompsetts, Chailey with her
husband and four children. The household comprised James Pointing, aged 44 and working as a postman, Alice, aged 40
and working from home as a laundress, and their four children: William Pointing (aged 13), Alice Pointing (aged nine),
James Pointing (aged six) and George Pointing (aged four). A fourth son, 14 year
old Frank Pointing, was boarding at Teague Green, Chailey.
