Louisa Stephens - Bristol England
I am looking for connections to a LOUISA STEPHENS born about 1870 in the Bristol (England) area.In 1895 she gave birth to a son, whose birth certificate lists her address as HANNOVER STREET, Bristol, (according to modern maps this is right in the middle of the Barton Hill/Redfield/Lawrence Hill/Moorfields area.
The birth was clearly illegitimate, as she her son's birth place is listed as the Bristol City Workhouse in Stapleton.Her occupation is also listed - Domestic Servant - but we are unclear whether or not the above address was her family home or that of an employer.
She married a Mr Stockham around 1897 and had two further children and died around 1942, when she was living in the Kingsdown area of the city.
This woman is someones daughter and she intrigues me! She she is also a cousin, as two Canadians - in Canadian forces uniform (?what) - arrived during World War II to visit her son. Unfortunately he was on active service himself at the time and never met them.
Can you help me to link her to someone?
