In 1919 there was a marriage record of an Alyce M Randolph in Houston. This middle initial does not match later records of her as Alice K Randolph. The first name is also spelled differently in this marriage record. But the address for Alyce M Randolph in this record is the same as that for Alice Randolph, daughter of Tom and Eliza Jane in Houston.

No other members of Alice's family appeaared in any other directories we now have access to. Alice married John Evan Chapel some time between 1920 and 1926, when she appears in the Houston City Directory as his wife. We have found no other directories or other records for the years in between, nor a marriage record for John and Alice.

Alice was reported as the wife and informant on John Evan Chapel's death certificate in 1938.
"According to Ancestry, you shared John Evan Chapel's Death Certificate on 6 July 2015. ... At the time of his death he was married to my great-aunt Alice Randolph."
-- Edward Randolph, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 29 January 2019
"Not sure how he [John Evan Chapel] met Alice. He was quite the character and well known in gambling circles in Houston. They lived in a very fashionable area. His final years were very puzzling.
My father worked for John before he died, then in the 1940's my dad worked for the Sam Maceo at his club in Galveston, the Balinese Room."
