Notes for Louisa Bryan
No baptisms of that name found in Staffs.
______________________
Ho Hum! her name is written as ‘Byan’ on the marriage register. But the birth records for her children have her maiden name as Bryan, so this is what I have altered it to.
We know from the 1851 censuses, see her daughter Mary’s husband’s Misc Notes, that she was born around 1809 and in Staffs so I used this for a search for her baptism and came up with an image of the baptism register which I have transcribed:
Baptism Year: 1808
Baptism month: April
Baptism date: 10
Surname: Bryan
Child’s name: Louisa
Sex: dr of

In 1961 she was at Daniel Street, Burslem, Wolstanton, Staffordshire and thus not far from her eldest daughter Mary and her expanding family. Note that she gave a different birth place and said her birth was five years before the year she gave in 1951. She gave identical birth years for her children to those in the 1951:
