We're experiencing difficulty in finding out more about my wife's namesake great-grandmother, Louisa Mary Stevenson-Woodhouse. My late mother-in-law supplied us with most of the information, some of which 'might' have been verified (but if so, decades ago and I've possibly forgotten). Strangely I have no sources noted, other than the 1861 census of England where I comment on finding her parents,( but not her?).
We have Louisa born 1855 to parents Charles James Woodhouse and Eliza Stevenson.
On 01 April 1876 we have her marrying William Humphrys. Her address at the time appears to have been 28 Newington Crescent. I must have seen this marriage registration at some time.
For date of death we have December 1927.
Help with Louisa's date of birth, names of possible siblings and such would be much appreciated.

Hi
Looking at the 1861 Census I think it could be Louisa dau aged 6 on there possibly mistranscribed on FindMyPast at least (Senora)
Looks like the name starts with an L (as in a Lucy a couple of names down) but the name is unclear.

I can only find burial records for these children not baptism records
Burials Norfolk
Charles James Woodhouse burial 19 Mar 1857 age 4
Emily Woodhouse burial 8 Sept 1867 Infant
It seems the first Charles James Woodhouse (born29 Dec 1847 bapt 20 Jan 1847 died shortly before the 2nd Charles james was born(and he too died age 4)
Burial Yarmoth Charles James Woodhouse 10 Sept 1852 age 5 ( there were a lot of burials of children and infants about this time in Yarmouth)

I posted these details in #9
it seems the Charles James Woodhouse born 1846 died shortly before the 2nd Charles James Woodhouse was born (he also died in infancy)
I can find no further information on Henry Josiah Woodhouse after 1861 census when he is age 11 - there is a marriage of Henry (transcribed as) Joshua Woodhouse in Surrey but his father was not Charles james
this looks like Augusa's marriage
4 Aug 1872 St Mary newington Page 113 entry 226
George Holt full age Bachelor occ Plasterer 2 Upper Bland St father George Holt occ Shoemaker
Augusta Woodhouse full age Spinster 2 Upper Bland St father James Woodhouse occ Painter

all signed
it looks like George Holt is in Newington with parents

Kitty wife 60 Little Mitton Oxon
George son S 21 Plasterer Pitton & Farley Wilts
William son 15 Plasterer's app Newington

I have not found George after his marriage
there is the baptism of their child
Page 124
Charlotte Eliza Holt born 21 mar 1874 baptised 3 may 1874 St Mary newington
Parents George & Augusta Holt
address 34 Lindon St father's occ Plasterer
Sadly this child died in infancy death reg Mar qtr 1876 St Saviour
It seems Augusta may have died a couple of years after marriage
Death reg Augusta Holt age 31 sept qtr 1874 St Saviour Southwark
so sad

Hi......
Charlotte Woodhouse marries Charles Isaac Mills 12 March 1876 at St George the martyr Southwark.
Father entered as James ....a painter....but signed as witness Charles James Woodhouse and Eliza Woodhouse.
Banns were called in Norfolk in 1865 for Augusta to a Henry Hagon listing father as Charles James however I cannot read the reason the marriage did not take place.
Charlotte and Charles are living in Bermondsey in 1881. He dies Lewisham in 1888

It says " Hagon absconded the day before he had fixed for the marriage".

Hi.....
Oh dear I did wonder but couldn't get a clear image......!

This is terrific! We've found out far more about Louisa Mary and her times than I would have anticipated.
My wife tells me that the family stories featuring Louisa Mary paint her as a strong personality - she apparently insisted upon the hyphenated surname throughout her adult lifetime. It doesn't seem that any of her siblings joined her in this.
That 1871 census return contained enough errors (even eldest daughter aged only 10 years in 20) that it wouldn't be out of place on a Canadian census of that year.
Later today I'll sketch out the Woodhouse clan with all this 'new' info.
Thanks again.
Brian
