LOUISA BRANSON, daughter of Thomas Webb Branson

Question

FOUND A MARRIAGE RECORD for Louisa Branson, father Thomas Webb Branson, married 14 May 1846, to Charles Henry Gould. Possible child, Mary S Gould?

Death record for Louisa Maria Gould, Oct-Nov-Dec-1897, Wandsworth, London, aged 77 years, but not really sure if she is the right person?

Death record for Mary S Gould, 3 November 1897, 15 Chelmer Road, Homerton.  Same year as Louisa?

BIrth of Louisa maybe around 1820? Charles may have died in 1909?

No record of birth and who her mother is, as her mother's name is not on her marriage certificate?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Lynette
