Hi
If she was at boarding school in Salford - that suggests she wasn't born there. Where was she born? Is she on the 1881 census?
-
what was her name ?
regards
belinda

The 1891 reference is as follows
RG12; Piece: 3214; Folio 77; Page 22

Hi Belinda
In 1881 she is shown as the niece of Mary Ellis aged 32 b Dudley Worcs
Louisa is aged 3 b Gorton

In the 1891 census the "Boarding school" was at 11 Devonshire Rd. Broughton and underneath the address was written Girls Home.
I have just looked at Slaters Manchester and Salford Directory for 1895 and 11 Devonshire Street, Broughton came under the heading of Orphanages &c. Below was written "Girls Home, 11 Devonshire Street, Higher Broughton".

It is quite possible that Salford Archives may hold some records. If you Google or whatever "salford Archives" or "Salford Local History Library" it should be the first hit. Scroll down the page and you should find an e-mail address to contact them.

P.S. I think "boring school" may be right ;D Poor Louisa.
