Louisa Wood born 1798 Beecles Suffolk, 1861 census Stanhope Street

[Annette7]

The details of the 1841 Census at Farringdon Street are:

Louisa Wood 30  Bonnett Maker    Not born in county
Geo. Wood 15                              Born in County
Frank Wood 17                                ditto
Sarah Gaston 70
Maria Scoten 30

Think Louisa could be Louisa Scotten bp.1/12/1797 Beccles, dau. of Robert and Elizabeth.

Then we have a Louisa Scotten marrying a Francis Wood 16/6/1821 St. Bride, Fleet Street, London.

Looking for baptisms to Francis and Louisa I can only find:

Francis Wood bp.24/4/1822 Lambeth, son of Francis (cabinet maker) and Louisa - bur.11/5/1823 Southwark
Francis Wood bp.31/10/1824 Lambeth, son of Francis (cabinet maker) and Louisa - think this is the 'Frank' shown in 1841.

Not sure when Francis Wood senior died but clearly before 1841.

Thank you I had found some of the info. Maria on  1841census with louisa was the mother of Alfred scotten show as nephew  with Louisa in 1851  found that  Maria gathercole married Christopher scotten in 1829. He was buried In st Clements st Danes Middlesex in 1836. Age 31. I hadn't found Louisa parents. Can you find a birth for Christopher with the same parents as given above both around 1801. Christopher band Louisa have to be siblings

Looks like between Louisa's baptism at Beccles in 1797 and 1805, Louisa's parents Robert and Elizabeth moved to London.

Christopher Scotten b.16/8/1805, bp.18/9/1805 St. Margaret, Westminster, son of Robert and Elizabeth.

So Louisa and Christopher were indeed siblings.
