Birth dats

[chalkeydave]

Hi,
I’m looking for a birth date for
Louisa lydia turner.
she was married to Arthur Henry Watmore in 1876.
Her age on the certificate suggests she was born in 1848/9.
But all I can find is a birth date much earlier.
Her fathers name was Thomas Turner.
thanking you for any help you can give.

This suggests the lady was Louisa Lydia Jowett?
Or was she a widow?

Think someone may have adjusted her age 

[IgorStrav]

The 1881 suggests Louisa Lydia was born in c 1849 in Stratford Buckinghamshire, so quite a bit of adjustment going on.

Looks like 1st husband's death

Name:   Henry Iveson Jowett
Estimated birth year:   abt 1826
Registration Year:   1871
Registration Quarter:   Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death:   45
Registration district:   Pancras

[medpat]

Name:   Louisa L Jowett  Age:   29
 so birth year around    1842

Born in   Stoney Stratford Buckinghamshire England

1871 census Pancras area - no children and husband is a bricklayers labourer and she was seamstress.

He is much older at 44 born Carlisle

Stony Stratford, Old Stratford and Potterspury all within 3 miles. This is the lady and she's not unique in adjusting her age 

Potterspury was very likely the nearest registration point.
