I am trying to find any details on Louisa Frampton. The only details I know is that she married a John Francis Chevalley and had a child Francis born in Wimborne on 4th October 1848. I believe that she died in London in 1860. I can find no trace of her birth or marriage so any help would be much appreciated

1851 for Middlesex as follows:
Francis Chevally 32 b Switzerland - cook
Louisa 32 b Wimborne

Many thanks for the information but I am afraid that I did not phrase my question very well. I have details of her life after she gave birth to her son but nothing before that. I have tried to find details of her birth and marriage but without luck. I know from the census that she was born in Wimborne, Dorset about 1818/1819 and that they lived on the High Street there when the son was born. Any help would be appreciated
-
Where did you get her maiden name from as I can't find a birth reg for their son
-
I bought a copy of their sons birth certificate. Details are 4th October 1848, Francis, boy, father-John James Francis Chevalley, mother-Louisa Cheavalley formerly Frampton, fathers occupation-cook, Informant-Louisa Cheavalley,mother (the address given is either King Street or High Street, Wimborne.
Chevalley is often mis-spelt as Cheavalley and the father was born Jean Francois Chevalley in Switzerland but anglicised his name. I have also seen him listed as Francis and John.

Hi
Thanks for that - I searched under Chev** and it's under Cheavlley
-
It may just be a red herring but, bearing in mind that J F Chevalley was a cook, I have found the Mail Coach Inn listed in King Street, Wimborne. In the 1851 census is listed an Emma Frampton who is a niece of the owner. Could be that Louisa and J F worked and met there?
-
Emma Frampton b Wiltshire was with the Shorts at the Mail Coach Inn in 1841 as well. Catherine shown as a licensed Victualler but Ruben not in household
-
Assuming that I am not going off on a wild goose chase (which I am very good at!). Reuben Short married Catherine Frampton in Southampton in 1839. There has to be a link somewhere there.
-
Catherine Short nee Frampton was b 1806 Wimborne
Emma Frampton b 1822 was b Downton Wiltshire - shown as niece in 1851
If Catherine & Reuben only married in 1839 - there is a son William Short shown as aged 5 in 1841 but nothing on the IGI re: a baptism under Short or Frampton
No marriage details on the IGI either to check if Catherine was prev married given she was 33yrs old in 1839
Louisa Frampton was b Wimborne approx 1819 and there is no marriage showing on freebmd although John Francis Chevalley went on to marry twice more after Louisa's death
IF - Louisa was previously married - she would have re-married under her married name but her son's birth cert would show her true maiden/birth surname
However - there is no marriage on freebmd between John Francis C and a Louisa of any surname
-
The baptismal entry has Cheavlly crossed out and then replaced with Chevallier; he is described as a Man Cook. There are some other Chevalliers having children at the same time in Yetminster, Dorset. Yetminster is on the other side of Dorset (although a Louisa Frampton was born in Evershot in 1820 which is nearby).
I have an interest in the Wimborne Framptons - there were 100s - as one was the first occupier of my house in 1862. I'm not at home now, but will see if I have come across Louisa when I get back.

Hi Richard, Great to find someone with an interest in the Wimborne Framptons. I have not found the baptismal record so I would be interested to see that. I find this search very interesting as I am actually researching my wife's Chevalley family and found this connection with my Frampton surname. Any help would be much appreciated.
