Great x3 Aunt Louisa Vernon

My Great x3 Aunt Louisa (1872 - 1874) was a younger sister of my Great Great Grandfather Isaac 'Harry' Harwood Vernon (1869 - 1934).

Louisa was born in Oct/Nov/Dec 1872, in the district of Okehampton, Devon, to William Vernon (about 43), an agricultural labourer, and Martha Vernon (nee Dyment) (about 39), a housewife.

Louisa was the tenth of twelve children (five daughters and seven sons):

  • Susan  1854 - 1930  (75 years old)
  • Thomas  1857 - 1916  (about 59 years old)
  • William 'Robert' Robert  1859 - 1939  (about 80 years old)
  • Sarah Ann  1860 - 1901  (about 40 years old)
  • Silas  1862 - 1933  (71 years old)
  • Mary 'Jane' Jane  1864 - 1930  (66 years old)
  • Arthur 'John' John  1865 - After 1881  (At least 16 years old)
  • Isaac 'Harry' Harwood  1869 - 1934  (65 years old)
  • Martha  1870 - 1947  (76 years old)
  • Louisa  1872 - 1874  (16 months old)
  • Samuel 'Sam' Reuben  1875 -
  • Ernest  1878 - 1903  (25 years old)

Sadly Louisa's life was a short one. In Jan/Feb/Mar 1874, Louisa passed away, at only sixteen months old, in the district of Okehampton. She was buried on 1st March 1874, in Hatherleigh.
