I knew nothing about the Reeve family until fairly recently when I made contact with Alice LaCour, with whom I share mutual great great great grandmother Alice Reeve.  I am grateful to her and to Ann Berry of Nottingham who has done such a lot of research into the Reeve family for the following information ( see Ann's site at http://www.geocities.com/whittakergen/ for full Reeve details)

My great great great grandmother Alice Limb (nee Reeve) was born 12th March 1835 ( baptised 17th March 1836) and was the daughter of William Reeve and Amy Reeve (nee Lees).  They married  on 30th December 1817 in Nuthall, Notts.  William was born c.1796 in Awsworth, Notts he died 7 September 1867 and was buried at Awsworth.  Amy died 21 March 1874 and was buried 25th March 1874 at Awsworth.  William and Amy had 13 children including Alice.

Alice married Joseph Limb on 25th December 1860 at Awsworth, Notts (Limb)
