Hampshire - Suffolk - Rutland - Herefordshire Tree

RL 17/6/07: The earlier HTML version of the tree (Graham's) had Louise born Crawley, Hants 1861/2, presumably from the 1901 census entry, although the 1891 entry would suggest 1864/5. (Locating Lovelocks born in Suffolk (i.e. some of George and Louise's children), following Nigel Gerdes' Sept 2005 email was, I believe, the origin of the Hants/Hereford link.) The GRO death entry (3Q 1937) believed to be her includes 'age 74', implying birth in 1862/3.

Searching (2/7/06) for a birth of a Louise ..??.. in Winchester RD 1859/62 incl. [and now (22/8/07) 1857/66 incl.] threw up only one possibility: Louise Pauline Heller 3Q 1860, 2c 84. [FreeBMD gives the page no. as 81, with no indication of uncertainty; however, viewing the image via BMDIndex shows the page no. clearly as 84. While the page no. on the image viewed via FreeBMD does look to be 81 at first sight, closer inspection reveals that the "1" is a bit fuzzy along the left edge and 'could very well' be a "4".]

The IGI has what appears to be this birth (although it does not appear in the LDS British Vital Records 2nd edn): Louise Pauline Heller 10 Jun 1860 East View, Winchester, Hampshire, England, parents Edward Paul Heller and Julia née Blake.

An 1861 census entry (RG9 691 F100 P18) for Winchester, St Thomas, 4 East View, shows the family with Louisa aged 10 months, her father Edward (30) a Professor of German at Winchester College, born Wurtemberg [sic], her mother Julia (38) born Cowes IoW, and an elder brother and sister - plus 2 servants. I can't find her in later censuses; nor is there a marriage of a Louise Heller on FreeBMD.

The IGI birth record for Louise Pauline Heller also shows a date of death of 18 August 1949, which if correct means this is not our girl (assuming the 1937 GRO entry does refer to George's wife Louise/a). There's no Louise Heller death listed during 1949 on BMDIndex. An "All types" [of BMDs] FreeBMD search (9/3/07) for 1860/1960 on Louise Heller found only that same birth plus another of a Louise Augusta G C Heller in St.Geo. East RD, 4Q 1890, 1c 316.
