Name and date of birth of Alice Burton

George Burton (1633-1717) mentions in his will his granddaughter Alice (b1690), daughter of Wilfrey Burton. We know that Wilfrey's wife was called Alice, because this was mentioned in her death certificate in 1690. Thus her maiden name must have been Burton, because of George Burton's will (clearly Wilfrey married a daughter of George).

Looking at her siblings, who start to be registered in 1662, there are gaps in 1660, 1670 and 1674. If Alice had been born in 1670, she would have been 19 at marriage, reasonable. The date of 1674 would have made her 15 at marriage, too young. The other alternative date is around 1660, because baptism records are available starting in 1661. Marriage records are also missing from 1654 to 1660.
If she was born in 1660, she would have been 29 at marriage, still possible, and, according to both Nicola and Paula, most likely, due to her ranking in her father's will, and also the fact that Alice was the name of George Burton's mother, and so most likely to have his first child named Alice.

So I think she was born in 1660.
