I would like to thank Ann, Hilary and Lawrence for taking the time to provide me with some information on my great grandmother Louisa THORPE, nee CAREY. I really appreciate that you found the time to respond to my query. Thank you Ann for providing me with a copy of the Thorpe household from the 1911 Census. Still trying to find a date for her death. I did find an entry of FreeBMD as follows Deaths Jun 1927 Thorpe Louisa E Age: 80, District: Croydon, Vol 2a, Page 424 Knowing she was born in 1858 (I have her birth certificate/registration), this death entry confuses me as it would make her birth year 1847 - almost ten years out. Also the name is stated as Louisa E - again I have never known her to have a second name; nor does her birth entry show a second name. The registration district of Croydon would be right as she lived her later years in Coulsdon. Desley Brisbane
