There is some thought that this Alice may well be the 1st cousin of Robert Ernest Knibbs' 1st cousin, the daughter of his aunt, Jane Victoria Knibbs who was married to Samuel John Nash.

My conclusion is that these were two different ladies with the name Alice Emily Nash. My reasoning is that I've seen two different birth dates given for them.
