I'm trying to find relatives of Louisa Soden who married John Edward Brown in 1910 at St Stephens North Bow London. They had a daughter Doris bn 1912. They lived in Fairfoot Road Bow. My cousin has their family bible and would like to return it to it's family.
Can anyone help?
Thanks Andrea.

Brown Doris L Soden Poplar 1c 1032


Name: Doris Louisa Brown
Birth Date: 1 Feb 1912
Death Registration Month/Year: 1973
Registration district: Poplar
Inferred County: London
Volume: 5d
Page: 1619


Doesn't look as though there is any family to whom the Bible can be given, as Doris was the only child of the marriage

Could this be Louisa Soden dorn 1885/6 in Old Ford to Henry William Soden born 1859 Bethnal Green and mum Louisa 1864 Old Ford.

Henry Williams parents were Henry William Soden born Southwark Surrey @ 1838 and Hannah 1835 bethnal Green.

Looks like Henry William died not long after the 1891 census. So possible that Louisa was an only child too.

The Wallingford births are accounted for by a marriage in the area...........I'd checked that before stating that Doris was an only child

Mary

Mary Report 28 Jan 2011 15:26

Someone on here has Donald and Albert mentioned above in there tree.

I think Albert married in Wallingford 1945and had a daughter in 1947.

Donald married in Wallingford 1948.
