My great grandma Louisa Kerr was born 1861 to Charles and Mary (Morden)
I can't find any information about Charles baptism for Charles Howe in 1866
 In Stepney
Census in 1871 shows Mary as head
1881 head

Any help in finding Charles kerr

Are you looking for Louisa's father?

[Milliepede]

Is this the correct 1871 for Louisa

Mary Kerr 33
Louisa 10
Charles 5

1881

Mary Kerr 45
Louisa 19
Charles 15

Charles and Mary (Morden)

I can't see the marriage - do you know when it was?

I can't find a Mary Morden    Louisa was born after 1861 census but they "should" have been married by then.

I am looking for Louisa father
I have that census
But I can't find a marriage certificate either
I think it might be Morken

Where has the surname for Mary come from please?

They may not have officially married but she used his name. 

The 1871 looks suspiciously like unmarried for Mary although the 1881 does say widow.

Hi

In the baptism of Louisa E Kerr the family were living at what looks like 32 Gowers Walk Goodmans Fields.

The family that were at that address in the 1861 census ~ Israel Pizar , had a son John PIZAR born 1850 who was a suspect ( cleared by police , but known as 'Leather Apron')  )in the Jack the Ripper murders.

A bit of history

That's interesting Claire 

I wonder where Mary and Charles were in 1861    Somewhere in the area I guess but I can't see that they were married can you?
