Biography

See Bangert-108. Married her cousin, Christian Bangert and subsequently his friend, Ludwig Darmstadter. In 1932, they were living in Buenos Aires.

Update 9/1/19 - curiosity caused me to order the birth certificate of Louisa Sophia Elizabeth Richter. The date of birth of 9/1/1872 checks out with that recorded by Wilhelm Bangert but that is pretty much all that does. The father is recorded as Karl Christian Richter but the mother as Maria Richter formerly Singler. Karl Richter dies in Windsor in 1886 but of Maria there is no obvious trace; a Mary Richter born in 1837 dies in Sevenoaks in 1916 but that is it.

The most plausible explanation is that Louisa was not related at all, or perhaps only distantly and that for some reason she was adopted by Peter and Carloline. The address given for place of birth on the certificate (51 Hunter Street, Bloomsbury) is scarcely half a mile from the main Bangert establishment in Gt. Tichfield Street and father's occupation of Master Tailor means that they also shared an occupation.

Short of a descendant tracing their lineage from the other direction, I am not sure we will ever get to the bottom of this. ^[1]
