Thank you Dai for the information you forwarded. No wonder I couldn't find
anything on FreeBMD - I haven't used the site a lot so did not realise that
it might not list similar names. Will remember that for next time.
Yes I did find that 1891 entry but like you could not find Alice, or anyone
else in Cardiff with a name like DARGE or DARGS.
I will continue to search.
Many thanks - June

June,
I haven't followed your earlier notes, so some of this may not be new.
FreeBMD has transcribed Alice's name as DARGE, and there is also a marriage:
Marriages Mar 1886 DARGE Joseph Herbert Cardiff
11a 348
There are a number of earlier events for this name, largely in London
and the S.E. of England. unfortunately, they do not include the birth
of either Joseph Herbert or Alice.
I assume you have found Alice & Charles WHITCOMB in 1891 - they are in
Roath, Cardiff, and Alice is 25, born Cardiff. However there is no
birth in Cardiff at that time of Alice with a surname anything like DARGE
regards,
Dai
