Haven’t posted very much over the last week, but I have been getting some research done.
Searching for information on my husband’s great-great-grandmother, Louisa Woodland. She was born in 1824 in Devon, and in 1847 married Charles Golesworthy.
The census of 1851 lists her as a straw milliner. She died in 1904 in Ottery St Mary, Devon.
I’ve spent some time trying to trace her before her marriage. The only Louisa Woodland that I can find on the 1841 census is in the Devon House of Corrections.
She is shown as P(risoner) Dressmaker. She was serving 8 months for “Larceny before convicted of felony”. She served another sentence of one month for larceny in 1845.
So is this the correct Louisa Woodland?
