Biography

Louisa Firth was most probably born at Kensington, in London, to Phineas & Elizabeth Firth. She married John William Pavitt at Elham, in Kent, in late 1887; the pair had six children in England, then emigrated to New South Wales, Australia, near the start of World War I. Both Louisa and John William passed away in Campsie, NSW, a suburb of Sydney, in 1942.

Research notes: London birth location taken from 1901 census record as transcribed by descendant Don Pavitt; birth year (supported by 1901 census estimate) and death date & location from email correspondence with, and genealogy board message posts, by Don Pavitt. Probable parentage from 1881 census record ([1]); this is the only Louisa Firth found in available free public records to date who was born within the bounds of London in 1865.
