‘He giveth His beloved sleep’
Alice Garrick was christened on the 14 February 1845, at St. John, Barbados
She married Axel Berridge, a businessman in Basseterre, St Kitts at St Phillips, Barbados, on the 2nd October 1872.
There is a record of a son who died there aged 4.5 months. Other sources show three (other) children, Alan, Cyril and Amy.
They lived at at The Glen, St Kitts..
Axel died in 1883 yet one source gives a second marriage to a Mary Dugan.
This seems unlikely in the light of the burial memorial erected to him at St Peter’s, St Kitts, on a stone cross, by Alice.
There is also a stone cross and slab memorial to their infant son.
There seems no clue why Alice came to Hastings.
To the beloved, the cherished
the unfading memory of
Axel Hamilton Berridge
