Put louisa 1872 in search on here,there are 3 trees with a Louisa born 1872 at 22,St James Road Bethnal Green.

Maybe it is the same Louisa!!

1881 West Hackney district 16 > 64
Stephen Coles age 36 a Lodger unmarried Vellum Binder.

Maryb

This is strange.

1891 Bethnal green 172,Willmot street.
Elizabeth Sampson widow dressmaker born 1848 (Married Stephen Cole 1866???)
Stephen W Cole SON born 1868 Bethnal green(Witness on Louisa's marriage).Can't read his occupation.
Frederick Sampson son 1881 Stepney
Nellie Sampson 1882.

Looks like this is the mum of Louisa.

Maryb

Stephen William Cole married J/A/S 1901 Bethnal Green to Alice Lucy Such born 1864 in Stepney.
1911 no children with them and he is a Coachmans Traveller.

EDIT I think the above should be WALLIS.

Elizabeth Wallis mother widow 1848 bethnal Green.
Address 401 Kingsland Road Hackney.

Can't find the marriage for Elizabeth to a Wallis.
I was looking to see if she married in the name of Cole or Sampson.

Another strange one.

John Sampson 1847 born Kingsland Middlesex
Elizabeth Sampson Tailoress Kingsland 1848
Stephen Sampson 1867 Bethnal Green (Is this Stephen William Cole )?

Maybe Janet would like to comment on our findings!!!!!

Maryb

All this is correct. it is her earlier life i can't find. There dosn't appear to be a birth certificate.
Thank you for your hel.
Janet

You have given me something to work on, thank you
Janet

This all looks very interesting and has given me something to work on. Thank you for your help. It would have been easier if i could have found a birth cert.

Janet

Thank you, this is my fathers family. It is his mother Loisa Cole who is causing problems. There is no trace of a birth cert for her and i have been looking a long time.

Janet

Yo have all been brilliant and given me something to work on. I am new to this and appreciate all that has been done for me. If only i could find a birth cert or baptismal record it would make life alot easier.

I first found loisa as a boarder with George Bevard on 1891 a year before her marriage. I have everything from her marriage onwards. It is her early life and her mother that is the mystery?

Thank you all

Janet
