This looks like the family Yvonne described:

However, it looks like they're a bit early to be your father-i-l's sis's-i-law.

I have spent the morning investigating and I think I agree that the Louisa Lottie in Hackney is not the correct one. However from the Birthday book and census's I am certain of:
Father John Jones 6/12/1842 Ampthill Beds married a Mary Ann (census)
Children from b'day book and census
Annie 1/5/1865 m EDWARDS
Emily Mary Ann 1/9/1867 m MARRIOT
Elizabeth 14.10.1867 m HADKISS
Rosina 21.3.1872 m HOOK
John 18/12/1879
Alice Maud 9/7/1880 m OSBOURN
Louisa 14/2/1884 married Samuel Morris 1/9/1912
Ethel Mary A 8/2/1886 m SINKINS

I thought I could get around the common and problematic duplicate names by getting a birth certificate for one of the other siblings However I cannot find any absolute details for them even the unusual Rosina
I do know ALL their married names and have their husbands and etc. so from the census and this book I do know this is the complete famiky

A comment made by my father in law once ()he never normally spoke of family) was that his wife had numerous sisters and also spoke of a shop that two of them managed in London

All advices very gratefully received I hope you all love a puzzle

I think mother might be Jessie Frances but not clear

Born 4 Sept 1880

1871 this is probably the John Jones from the 1862 marriage

1861 has a Jane Walker that matches

Even more confused as surely this one would be too early

1861 Mary Ann Odell matches on year and place of birth to 1871 as King

Yvonne

What are the names of Louisa's brothers and sisters from her birthday book?

I still have the feeling that you either have the wrong parents or your Louisa is Louisa Charlotte and not Louisa Lottie.

If the probate and death that GlitterBaby has found are the correct ones then I think the parents are James and Jessie.

How do you know she had 7 siblings

Yvonne

If the family that Christina has found is "your" family then I don't think that Louisa in that family is Louisa Lottie Jones but just plain Louisa with no middle name.

Where have you got Louisa's middle name from if you haven't got her birth certificate?

Between 1883 and 1885 there was only one birth of a Louisa Lottie Jones and that is the one with parents called James and Jessie.

Could your Louisa Lottie actually be Louisa Charlotte? If so there is this birth:-

Name: JONES, Louisa Charlotte
Registration district: Bethnal Green
County: London
Year of registration: 1884
Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no: 1C
Page no: 216

Do you know who "your" Louisa married? Her marriage certificate should name her father.

I think you will have to buy at least her marriage certificate to make sure you are not following the wrong line.

Thanks for the interest Folks Christina your's is the correct family census and I have all the information that I can find from Ancestry and Free BMD etc but I had hoped not to have to purchase a birth certificate in case the information is not on it and the money would be wasted. I need to know what Mary Ann's surname was before she married John Jones and I am sure it is Odell but others think M A Odell married Ebenezer King instead The 8 children are all correct as I have Louisa's birthday book so can correlate and confirm those details Mile End and Hackney are the addresses in census and birth info for the children
