Alice Liddell married [[Reginald Hargreaves]], also a cricketer, on 15 September 1880, at the age of 28 in [[Westminster Abbey]]. They had three sons: Alan Knyveton Hargreaves<ref>[https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp140368/alan-knyveton-hargreaves Alan Knyveton Hargreaves (1882–1915), Soldier; son of Alice Liddell], [[National Portrait Gallery (London)|National Portrait Gallery]]</ref> and Leopold Reginald "Rex" Hargreaves (both were killed in action in [[World War I]]); and Caryl Liddell Hargreaves, who survived to have a daughter of his own. Liddell denied that the name 'Caryl' was in any way associated with Charles Dodgson's pseudonym. Reginald Hargreaves inherited a considerable fortune, and was a local [[magistrate]]; he also played [[cricket]] for [[Hampshire County Cricket Club|Hampshire]]. Alice became a noted society hostess and was the first president of [[Emery Down]] [[Women's Institute]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.southernlife.org.uk/lyndchur.htm |title=lyndchur |publisher=Southernlife.org.uk |access-date=22 March 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517094152/http://www.southernlife.org.uk/lyndchur.htm |archive-date=17 May 2011  }}</ref>

During [[World War I]], she joined the [[Red Cross]] as a volunteer, for which she was awarded a medal currently on display in the [[Museum of Oxford]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2021-10-11 |title=Museum of Oxford reopening: Century-old marmalade tin among exhibits |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-58639707 |access-date=2022-11-05}}</ref> 

She took to referring to herself as "Lady Hargreaves", but no basis existed for such a title.<ref>[http://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/review/the-story-of-alice-innocence-through-the-lookingglass/news-story/3fa9c7273eec04fd4ed1fbb9fd431864 A.

Retrieved 19 December 2017</ref> After her husband's death in 1926, the cost of maintaining their home, Cuffnells, was such that she deemed it necessary to sell her copy of ''Alice's Adventures under Ground'' (Lewis Carroll's earlier title for ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]''). The manuscript fetched £15,400 ({{inflation|UK|15400|1926|fmt=eq|cursign=£|r=-5}}), nearly four times the [[reserve price]] given to it by [[Sotheby's]] auction house. It later became the possession of [[Eldridge R. Johnson]] and was displayed at [[Columbia University]] on the centennial of Carroll's birth in 1932. Alice was present, aged 80, and it was on this visit to the United States that she met [[Peter Llewelyn Davies]], one of the brothers who inspired [[J. M. Barrie]]'s ''[[Peter Pan]]''. After Johnson's death in 1945, the book was purchased by a consortium of American bibliophiles and presented to the British people "in recognition of Britain's courage in facing Hitler". The manuscript is held by the [[British Library]].<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Rare Manuscripts|pages=101–105|magazine=[[Life (magazine)|Life]]|date=15 April 1946|volume=20|issue=15|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-VQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA101|access-date=7 August 2022|archive-date=24 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220124162800/https://books.google.com/books?id=-VQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA101|url-status=live}}</ref>

For most of her life, Alice lived in and around [[Lyndhurst, Hampshire|Lyndhurst]] in the [[New Forest]], in the county of [[Hampshire]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thisishampshire.net/news/5046986.Call_to_celebrate_life_of_the__real_Alice_ |title=Call to celebrate life of the 'real Alice' (From This is Hampshire) |publisher=Thisishampshire.net |date=8 March 2010 |access-date=22 March 2014}}</ref>
