Thanks I will go back and check re Maria it could be wrong.Thanks again

If this is Louisa in 1851, then she gives her birth place as Dartmouth, Devon and her birth date as 1829 so are you sure these are the same people?

............so if you are sure that the Louisa you are looking for married George Guppy, then I would say that this is the family you are looking for. What made you think she was born in North Wotton, Somerset?
