Louisa Jennie Bradford was born in 1888 in Poplar, London (actually the Isle of Dogs).
In 1891 she is in Wolborough, Devon aged 2 with her grandparents. Her parents were out of the picture.
In 1901 she is in Sculcoates, Hull aged 12, a visitor. Her grandmother had died in Sculcoates in 1900 (haven't yet worked out why they were there) and her grandfather in Newton Abbot workhouse (presumably in the infirmary) in 1899. Louisa married in 1916 in Edlingham, Northumberland.
So where is she in 1911? The closest match I can find is Harriet Louisa Bradford living in Epping, Essex aged 23 b. Shoreditch. The name is wrong and I have no idea why she should be in Epping. Could SKS please pm me details of who she is with, in the hope that this will shed some light. Or is anyone able to suggest a likelier name or geographical match (perhaps a mistranscription)?
