In 1634 Alice (Frost) Blower was fined £100 for contempt of ecclesiatical laws by the Court of High Commission350. See under her husband Thomas Blower for details. Alice found herself in further legal difficulties in New England because of her work as a midwife (Mary Elizabeth Norton, “‘The ablest midwife that wee know in the land’: Mistress Alice Tilly and the women of Boston and Dorchester, 1649-1650,” William and Mary Quarterly, 55: 105-34, 1998).
