About ten years ago, I asked for help with a missing marriage certificate for Louise/a Richards to Thomas William Bowyer, but everyone came up with the same result - nothing!
Last week I came across a new to me birth certificate for a Louisa Richards. Born 10 October 1856 to Louisa Richards nee Allen and George Richards, St Giles in the Fields and St George Bloomsbury. I also found her in the RG4-8 records on Family Search.
1861 Camberwell, London - Louisa is living with her father George, mother Louisa and four brothers. Her baby brother is named Albert aged 2.
1871 Clerkenwell, London - Louisa is a servant, aged 16 years, living with the Wadsworth family.
1881 Clerkenwell, London - Louisa is now married to Thomas William Bowyer, plasterer, with their two children. Louisa will eventually have 10 children, and she dies in 1912, Hampstead London. Her eldest child Louise/a is born in 1877, St Pancras. They lived in the St Pancras/ Hampstead area of London.
One of the reasons that I am somewhat optimistic that I have the correct mother Louisa are the naming patterns. She has a son named George, plus another son is Thomas Albert. George and Albert were not Bowyer family names.
So - I am still missing a marriage certificate, plus all the children appear not to have been baptised. Any ideas of where to go now?
Thank you,
