Biography

Louisa was born in 1894. Louisa Williams married Henry Jones in 1915, they had a daughter Marjorie in 1917. For reasons unknown they sailed for Buenos Aires, Argentina shortly after. By word of mouth - Henry Jones went on the run from the Argentine police, and after a brief meeting with Louisa was never seen or heard of again. My grandmother Louisa gained passage back to England with the help of the salvation army by 1921. She met Percy Hoare, but had to wait 7 years for her first marriage to be disolved. In 1926 Percy Jnr was born. They married in 1928, then my mother Aurdrey, and her brother Stanley in 1930. Percy Hoare passed away in early 1931. Louisa married William Cox in 1934, and they had a daugter Rosemary.. During the war she had her mother Alice Louisa living with her and later her brother George Thomas.... She passed away on 23rd March 1973 after a stroke, and was cremated at Portchester. [1]

Thanks Irene, yes she lived a very full life coming from a large family, she married Henry Jones and at the end of WW1 they went to Argentina (not sure why). Her husband then went on the run from the Argentine police (again not sure why) and dissappeared. She returned to England with the help of the Salvation Army in 1921 and met her 2nd husband Percy Hoare (my grandfather). They had to wait 7 years to marry as her 1st husband was missing, before being declared legally dead. They married in 1928, but Percy Hoare died in 1931. She met and married her 3rd husband William Cox in 1934. William Cox was born in Gosport Hampshire.

Thanks for your interest. Steve

Hi Steve, I just happened on Louisa's page while seeking links to my own Cox family. Louisa is not related to me but what an eventful life she lived. I enjoyed reading her story.
