Have you looked for the family on the 1911 census - you say she had a daughter Sarah b 1906.

The 1911 will give you her birthyear, birthplace and her husbands name.  It will also show how many years they had been married.  You can then check freebmd for a Bevan marriage to a Louisa

If any of the children you listed above were born after the September qtr 1911 - you can check freebmd for their births as Louisa's maiden name will be shown against the entry

Hi to all, I cannot find a possible marriage for this couple, I wonder if Louisa is pet/middle name?
If this is or even isn't the correct couple we are looking for when was the marriage and what was her name?!
