Louisa West daughter of Samuel West and his wife, Hannah Lodder, was baptised at Fontmell in Dorset on the 12th of July 1814. [1] It was at Hinton Martell, some 16 miles away, that she married Amos Sturney, illegitimate son of Elizabeth Sturney, on the 29th of December 1835. [2] They lived at Hinton Martell where Amos was employed as an agricultural labourer. [3]
Amos died in 1848 [4] leaving Louisa with four children to raise. [5] The arrival of another child in 1852 cannot have helped. The baby, whom she called Edward Walter, was baptised at Hinton Martell on the 23rd of May. [6]
On the 25th of January 1858 she married 5ft 4inch tall blue-eyed [7] widower, cordwainer Joseph Dabinett at Hinton Martel. [8] In 1861 they were living at Gaunt's Common. [9] The marriage was not as happy as Louisa might have wished for in 1865 Joseph was clapped in Dorchester Prison on a charge of abandoning his family. [7] Joseph died in 1867, aged 67. [10]
Still at Hinton Martell in 1891, Louisa had her 14 year old school teacher granddaughter, Lizzie Toop, for company. [11]
