what is that hownsum thing about ?? after her name.  

Being born out of wedlock wouldn't be a surprise, because her son Henry Boxall was also born out of wedlock considering the rest of her children have the name Norrell.

I have transcribed as shown.

It appears the Alberton cemetery has been 'cleared'.

Hi
I think if FRIEND jnr was the son at all,  (other peope's work open to question as always.....) there is a mix up on dates .

14 is not likely for a father.

There are BRIDGER's on the same census page in 1841.  Looks likely that Louisa may have been illegitimate with father Benjamin BRIDGER.

All information from IGI

Marriage:
Benjamin BRIDGER to Hannah BOXALL, 12 May 1813, Eastdean near Chichester.

There is a baptism which may be him:
Benjamin BRDGER, baptised 12 August 1792, Eastdean near Chichester, parents John BRIDGER, Sarah

There are a number of births listed with parents Benjamin BRIDGER and Hannah - no surname for later births, but she would have been married by then.  All at east Dean except for Louisa.
1807, 12 April, Louisa Hownsum BOXALL, St Pancras, Chichester  - this one lists Hannah's surname as BOXALL
1813, 12 December, John BRIDGER
1815, 1 October,  Frances BRIDGER
1818, 22 March, Charles BRIDGER
1823, 25 May. Atwick BRIDGER

I wonder if this might be Hannah's baptism
8 April, 1792 Hannah BOXALL, St Peter-the-Great, Chichester parents Thomas BOXALL, Ann

The surname BOXALL is very common around the West Sussex area and it's difficult to know if it's her. 
There is a submitted entry for:
Hannah BOXALL giving a baptism date of 1799 at East Dean, the marriage to Benjamin as aobut 1806  and a death date of 26 Nov 1826.
This is a submitted entry which means someone sent it in and there is no firm documentary evidence for the entry, so needs to be treated with caution. For example the marriage date of 1806 can be seen now as incorrect.  The earlier enties I have given are all extracts from the registers so have more validity.

Additional - if you use Googlemap to look up East Dean, Sussex you will get the wrong one, near Eastbourne.  To find the East Dean near Chichester you need to add the word Chichester or to put West Sussex.  googlemap has some nice photos of the villages at the left of the map.
