G'day everybody In the hope there is someone out there who can help in our search for Louisa Josephine Helena DENNY b. 19 May 1888, we have posted this to the Hampshire list and the Portsmouth list. We think that she is the Louisa Denny listed in the Salvation Army home in Portsmouth in the 1901 census, aged 12. She may also be the Helena J S Denny who married in 1911 in Portsmouth. possibly to a Henry Churchman (FreeBMD has him as a possible partner). She was the daughter of a Royal Marine and my wife's mother's sister. Their mother died in 1897 and their father was discharged from the RM August 1898. Sometime on 31 December 1901 John Denny, the father, disappeared and my wife's mother was abandoned and spent the next six or so years in an orphanage in Glamorgan. We have no idea what happened to Louisa and thus far the Salvation Army has so far been unable to help. It is possible that she was taken under the wing of one of her mother's sisters at the time of her mother's death. She was resputed to be a sailor's wife and may well have moved to Portsmouth from Devonport to follow her husband. We are obviously hoping that she had children from the marriage and that there are some of her descendants out there who might be able to help in the search for Louisa and Kathleen's father. Is there anyone on either list who may be able to help? Regards
