Edward Broderick wrote:
August 22nd [1830] Sister and I received a note last Sunday from Ralph Milner desiring us to stand sponsor for their daughter. I hesitated much about going but was prevailed on. (He was a non-conformist). We were a large company. Leonard Harker and sister, William Woodward and wife of Gunnerside, John Cottingham, and myself and sister Ann. We were lucky in meeting together and in having a fine day. Got there before church time. Marske Church is in sad repair. Mr Hutton, I am told, never comes there though the Vicar, Mr Tate, who comes once a fortnight, always dines and spends the afternoon with him. Prayers were read by Mr Tate, who is the best reader I ever heard, and a sermon was preached by Mr Croft. After service was done. Mr Tate christened the child Phyllis Woodward. In the afternoon walked out to Clints Hall to the top of the hill above Marske.Sept 5th [1830] Went to chapel in the afternoon. Our acquaintances had threatened us with a lecture from Mr. Allason for going to Marske and standing sponsors for Ralph Milner's daughter but all passed quietly off. Drank tea at Mr Knowles's sisters and I attended evening service at Crackpot as we returned.
A note says Mr. Allason was the Congregational minister at Low Row.

GUNNERSIDE.
New Wesleyan Chapel. — The opening services of
this beautifal sanctuary, which were brought to & close
on Wednesday, February 20th, will make the year 1867
memorable in the dales. The Wesleyan Methodists of
Gunnerside have long felt the need of a large and com-
modious place of worship in lieu of the old and delapi-
dated structure which was built in 1789. A Building
Committee was formed in 1865, with Messrs. Coates,
Sunter, Schorfield, and Cottingham, as treasurers and
secretaries, to whose praiseworthy efforts is due the
rapid fulfilment of the scheme. Subscriptions were
promised, and the project seemed hopefully inaugurated
when in May, 1866, Mr. Ralph Milner, of Reeth, the
chief donor, and a native of Gunnersnde, laid the foun-
dation stone under very auspicious circumstances.Homeowners in Reeth 1871. Rateable valuation document for the Reeth township

Here are also deposited the remains of a son who was stillborn 18 Apr 1837. Also of Alice their daughter who departed this life 6 Dec 1840 aged 1 yr & 33 wks.
Alice is listed in her father's will of 1877 as Alice Milner. Alice Milner is also mentioned in her brother-in-law Thomas Spensley's will of 6th June 1883. Thomas left property to his wife, Elizabeth Milner, and then to grandson Bonson Montford Spensley. Should Bonson be dead, then assets were to go to children of late brother William, children of late brother Harker, Solomon Spensley, John Ralph Milner, Phillis Whitton and Alice Milner.
Alice was close to her sister Phillis who married George Whitton. She witnessed Phillis and George's marriage in 1860, was living with them in 1861 and was the informant on Phillis' death certificate in 1904.
In 1881 and 1891 Alice was living with her neice Leonora Servers and in 1891 she was living with her brother-in-law William Whittle.
Alice seems to age very slowly as her age in the various census seems unreliable.
