2) I have not long ago found this record, which looks positive. I see that the date in J-A-S 1862. Not the date the family gave me out of the family bible 🤔 I will send for it. As I mentioned, I take the families account with a grain of salt.
Birth: Possible
Name: Louisa Annie Edwards
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1862
Registration District: Kensington
Inferred County: London
Volume: 1a
Page: 105


From the GRO you can see the mother’s maiden name here is WOOLGAR

EDWARDS, LOUISA  ANNIE     WOOLGAR 
GRO Reference: 1862  S Quarter in KENSINGTON  Volume 01A  Page 105

I had a look at that birth last night and am fairly confident the mother is Fanny Dauncey Woolgar and father is Hugh George Edwards and they and their family can be accounted for well after the relevant dates.

The birth date I was given for Elizabeth 17 May 1866 London. Lousia Annie 7 Nov 1863 London.

There are no registered births that match your information, nor any EDWARDS/COMPTON/CAMPTON births.

39 Norfolk sq, Hyde Park, London.?

Not there on any census 1861 -1891



I think you need to start with finding out where this information has come from,  I am sure someone didn't just pull it out of the air.

Elizabeth came out to NZ at the age of 16 yrs. She was with her sister Lousia Annie who went on to Australia.

She was on her own and aged 18.

I think these people were living at 39, Norfolk Square, Paddington, Kensington in 1881

Martha H   Channell?   Head  64   Widow of a judge   Hammersmith, Middlesex
Eliza   Bloomfield   Servant 30   Ladys maid   Ringwood, Hampshire
Elizabeth   Riches   Servant 33   Cook   Norwich, Norfolk
Martha J   Spinney   Servant 26   Parlour maid   Blandford, Dorset
Ellen   Brighten   Servant 17   House maid   Stepney, Middlesex

In 1871 Martha H Channel was staying with her husband (William Channell -Baron of the Exchequer) at the Albion Hotel in Brighton
