Notes for Louisa Rudston-Read
Her father was George Rudston-Read, rector of Sutton-on-Derwent. That family has an ancestry going back to the early middle ages, see https://pocklingtonhistory.com/district/hayton/rudston. See also Fosters Yorkshire Pedigrees, Vol III, Glovers 1584-5 Visitation of Yorks, Dugdale's 1664-5 Visitation of Yorks.
It looks like she and her sister Georgiana had a double wedding, or if it was not on the same day, it was in the same quarter. Andrew Rose confirms that it was a double wedding and that Georgiana married Frederic William Steward.

Andrew Rose reports that her birth date was 10 March 1838, as reported in the York Gazette of 17th March 1838.
Curiously there is a half-duplicate entry for her but with an 'e' at the end of Rudstone on the indexes for Q2 of 1838:

Perhaps they had not worked out how to do amendments to the new birth registration system?
The new GRO indexes confirms this and gives her mother's maiden name:

Foster's Yorkshire pedigrees show that her mother's maiden name was Theresa Wheeler.

In the 1891 census she was lodging in Kensington, possibly with a daughter Helen L Harding born in 1871-2.
______________
In the 1911 census she was in Leamington and had two of sons with her from their work as Planters in Ceylon; she wrote on the form that she had had seven children of which one was then dead; also she had stopped the use of her Rudston second forename, both in the entry and her signature at the bottom:

She signed the sheet and entered the address of: Campion Lodge, Leamington which was therefore on Holly Walk, as above, and thus the address was Campion Lodge, Holly Walk, Leamington which was the address given for her probate, thereby confirming her death date.

Her death cannot be identified after that, nor can any marriage: there are too many Hardings around and none of the entries has Rudston for a second name.
But this death on FreeBMD looks a possibility:
