The idea that Alice was b c 1458, that she was born in Wakefield, and that she m 1490 should all be discarded. Exact statements like these need exact citations, stated and quoted in the text.

In fact 1462 is about the minimus date on which Alice could be born, and we have nothing, so far, to my knowledge, that gives her any maximus, excepting that her husband has an IPM 28 Aug 10H8 and they evidently had six children as a couple.

That's not enough to pin her to such an exact date as 1458. Her father Peter was "of Stokeld" so I see no reason to expect her to be born at Wakefield
