All I want for Christmas is a Baptism.
According to Censii Louisa Powell was born in Trowbridge,Wiltshire in 1784. In 1813 she married William Gale in Esher, Surrey.
Louisa died in Thames Ditton,Surrey in 1871.

As she was 29 just wondered if the marriage entry shows her as a spinster or a widow?
EDIT - found entry and she was a spinster :)
-
Interesting thought since her husband was only 19 when they married. Perhaps spinster is an error in the register !
-
Does her age at death tie in with her age at marriage?
-
She died in 1871 with an age recorded as 87. The marriage register does not give an age.
1851 census has her as born 1786. 1861 as 1785.
