Alice May Crisp (born in 1910 in Norfolk) went missing in the mid 1950s, from Tooting, Wandsworth in London.

She married Sidney King in 1935.

She had 5 children - William (Billy), Jean, Sylvia, Margaret and Thomas Philip (known as Philip), who was 5 when she disappeared.

She hasn't been seen or heard of since 1954 and we don't know what happened to her at all.

Does anyone know anything about her?

Sadly I think she died in 1998. see below:

Alice May king d. October 1998 in Northumberland, Newcastle upon Tyne. b. 2nd January 1910.

for reference: District No.0531D reg. No.D59C Ent. No.046 DOR 1098.

This is the onlyAlice May King registered that I can find.

I would suggest that the key is to get her birth certificate to establish her exact date of birth - always helpful when looking for death records.

If she hooked up with another man after she left and used his name then her death may be registered in that name.
