[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 884588, member: 8184"]Well, she's just about covered up by grass and dirt, but she's there. ;) --- Louisa Wish birth: First Quarter 1855 in St Thomas, Devon death: 6 JUL 1922 at Exeter, Devon, England Keeping in mind this is all "quick and dirty" research: There are a number of small articles about Miss Wish and her painting, amateur art exhibits and the like. One, in 1881 says she is "of Alphington". Another, in 1884, says shes is from "Heavitree"... The findagrave Louisa Wish (link above) is the only Louisa Wish I found who lived in both places. In the 1881 census, she has an Alphington address and in the 1891 census, she has a Heavitree address. She never married, occupation was variously listed as "independent means" and "annuity dividends". I didn't research her ancestry far enough to know much else, but I will continue to poke around a bit. [ATTACH=full]199192[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
