Title: Louisa Churchill b: 1865, Deddington, Oxfordshire
Post by: swanscity on Tuesday 01 April 14 22:54 BST (UK)
Looking for some information for Louisa Churchill b: 1865 Deddington.  Parents: Charles Churchill,  Eliza Busby.  Can only find her on the 1871/1881 census.  Louisa had a daughter named Florence in 1887+.  At some time she moved to Swansea, South Wales. Cannot find any other information of her after 1881.

Hi

Have you ruled out the marriage in Jun qtr 1887 Woodstock to Albert Buswell or Robert William Godfrey (other bride Elizabeth Spacey)?

ETA: actually I think that may be a different Louisa Churchill, b abt 1868-9, and that she married Albert Buswell.

You say your Louisa was born in 1865, but the likely birth registration I can see for her is Jun qtr 1863 Woodstock. Is that the right one?

Thank you all.  The Neath Road one looks right as she lived near that area. Wasn't sure if she was married, but the one to David John Bowen could be right.

Louisa Bowen (nee Churchill) moved to the US in 1896.  (Have found her death records). Her daughter Florence was on the passenger list with her.  Don't know if she took her mother's married name Bowen. Cannot find Florence on any of the census. Any help would be grateful.
