Looking through the workhouse and infirmary records today I came across an Alice McKenzie b c 1846 listed in the Whitechapel Infirmary a few times in 1883. She is recorded as the widow of Joseph (one looks like John) McKenzie, described as a carpenter and cabinet maker. On two occasions this Alice was picked up drunk in the streets by police, on one occasion she was picked up drunk by an H division copper in Dorset St.
There's also an earlier 1877 Southwark entry that could be the same woman.
Has anyone looked in to this before? I haven't managed to get much further but can't find any other Alice McKenzie that might fit, as yet.
