Louisa Wathen

[molar]

I need help with Louisa Wathen. She was born in Bristol around 1847. Louisa was married in Bristol in 1867 to John Carl Albert Voigt, a cabinet maker born in Germany. On the marriage cert the father of Louisa is named as John Wathen, grocers asst. however the only birth cert I have managed to find for the relevant dates gives the father as Henry Wathen, labourer.
A family bible which was lost during a house move in the 1970's mentioned a relationship of some sort between Louisa and Sir Charles Wathen ,who was Mayor of Bristol 6 times, however Sir Charles did not have any chidren, only 3 adopted daughters. Louisa moved to Manchester with her family and died soon after her youngest daughter was born in 1889. any help much appreciated.
