Hi Pat

There is a birth on the Free BMD site for a Louisa :-

MOGRIDGE Louisa September Quarter 1855 Totnes ( which includes Diptford ) 5b 168

On the 1861 Census there is a Louisa in the same district, born about 1856, living with parents Henry and Elizabeth, siblings John, George, Ann and Harry.  Father's occupation was Ag Lab.

I can look further on Census for you if you think that this may be your Louisa.

Cheers
Karenlee

Many thanks for doing this, I have a  contact who insist she is 1861 but I can find no trace of this Louisa at all.

I think 1856 sounds more likey

Hi,

I can see these births (misspelt on Ancestry as MUGFIDGE), looks like twins 

Emily MUGRIDGE  Sep Q  1861  Totnes  v.5b  p.178

Louisa MUGRIDGE  Sep Q  1861  Totnes  v.5b  p.178


This looks like the girls in 1871,

RG10/2095  f.91  p.7  Totnes
Totnes Union Workhouse

Harriet MUGRIDGE  Pauper  Unm  39                 Diptford

Louisa MUGRIDGE       "                9  Scholar      Totnes Devon
Jessie MUGRIDGE        "               3                  Totnes Devon


It looks like Harriet gets married,

Hi again,

There is this marriage, coincidence or relative of Thomas

Louisa MOGRIDGE  Dec Q  1882  Totnes  v.5b  p.365
John TOZER with same details.


This looks like them in 1891,

1891  RG12/1714  f.34  p.4  Rattery Devon
Yelland

John TOZER  41  Agricultural Labourer    Devon Rattery
Louisa         29                                     "  "    Totnes
Emily            7  Scholar                   
John             6  Scholar         
Thomas        4
Alfred           2
William         4ms                 All children born Devon Rattery     



This is the only John TOZER born abt 1850 Rattery I can see in 1851 and 1861,


1851  HO107/1874  f.540  p.18  Rattery, Devon
Spurt? Hill

Thomas TOZER   Head  Mar  32  Ag Lab             Devonshire Staverton

William               Son           4  At home              "  "       "  "
John                   Son           1                            "  "       "  "
Ellen     Mother-in-law    W  87   Pauper              "  "  Buckfastleigh                       



1861  RG9/1421  f.42  p.4  Rattery, Devon 
Village

Thomas TOZER  Head  Mar  43  Ag Lab    Devon Staverton
Elizabeth           Wife  Mar  30                   "  "    Ashburton
John                   Son         11   Scholar
Mary                   Daur         6   Scholar
George                Son          5   Scholar
Elizabeth            Daur          3                  All children born Devon Rattery


So is this the same family with a new wife for Thomas, and is it the same Thomas who later marries Harriet 

More importantly does this mean John TOZER married his step-sister Louisa MOGRIDGE

Many thanks, I have recently found my Louisa who is a cousin of the one you found. Unfortunately all the ' ladies ' of this family didn't seem to be bothered re getting married at all.

Babies willy nilly all of the place.!!!!!

Or maybe a serial rapist, my mate at work thinks it's the Vicar to get more bisiness...
