A BIG APOLOGY!!
You are quite right - last night I re-looked at the census records and had incorrectly copied it down as Joseph in my own records therefore for the last 3 years I have been reading it as Joseph and Louisa!! I am so glad you have put me right on this.
Did you find these on any other census as we have only found them on 1881 and 1891 - although may have been looking under the wrong names!! Someone else on this site found John and Minnie with a daughter Amy but I have been unable to find this - have you come across this - they definitely did have a daughter Amy.
Have you ever seen any photos of these - I would love to find any but have had no luck so far.
Do you come from the Mitcham area yourself?
Best wishes

I have been researching my husband's family and in his tree he has Amy James baptised on 16 Feb 1882 at Tandridge, St Peter, Surrey, England, Father: John James, Mother: Minnetta James.
Amy James married William Shoebridge on 24 Apr 1905 at Chaldon, St Peter and St Paul, Surrey, England. Amy died 1934 and was buried on 28 Sep 1934 at St Mary's Church, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England.
I have found another Amy James baptised on 16 Apr 1882 at Esher, Surrey, England, Father: John James, Mother: Minnie Nellie James but nothing further on this so I am unsure which is the correct baptism for the Amy James who married William Shoebridge.
Also I cannot find Amy James on any Census records.
Any information would be very much appreciated.
