Hi, I don't know if you're still looking at this, but I have just found them.  Mary Basset was Josepha's grandmother.  Edward Ladner married her daughter also Mary in 1836, Josepha was born in 1837 and Mary died in 1838.  Edward went on to marry Sally Bramble in 1840.  They had several children together and some time between 1847 and 51 emigrated to Australia.  They appear with Josepha on Find a Grave : http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=133106170&ref=acom.  I'm descended from Edward's brother Thomas, but am finding the Australian connection fascinating.  The other Edward Ladner with Mary Ann and William is a red herring.  I can't yet find them on a passenger list, but they were farmers so I think they would have gone by assisted passage to South Australia (Adelaide).  They ended up in Bendigo (Victoria).  Hope that's of interest  

Is anyone else researching Louisa Goldwin?  She was my 3 x great grandmother, who married Benjamin Francis in 1828.  I have the marriage record, witnessed by Benjamin's sister Mary and her fiance Frederick Shepherd.  I have Louisa on all census from 1841 to 1881 and her death in 1884, but can find no trace of her prior to her marriage.  She was probably born in St George in the East (one census says Westminster) around 1807/8.  The only possible clue is a Harriet Goldwin living with them in 1841 described as a servant, but whether she is mother or sister to Louisa I can't establish. Harriet died later that year and was still at the same address but the death was registered by the Coroner so no help there.  Harriet was born 'out of the county' and was recorded as aged 50 when she died.  I found a Harriet Goldwin born Bucks in 1791 to William and Elizabeth Goldwin, then Elizabeth and John Goldwin with the same named parents, baptised in St Geo in the East in 1804 (born 1798/1800) but so far cannot prove a link.  Any ideas or help gratefully received.
