Hi Sarah

There are only two Louisa SILKs in Somerset in the 1851 census, one 8 yo and one 2 mo. I assume the latter is yours! She's actually born in Nunney, and the family are in Marston Bigot.

The Principal Part of the Parish of Marston, Part of Gare Hill, Marston Pound, Parston Bottom.

Been going through my old messages and I can't believe I have not replied to the pair of you on your kind help on finding Louisa Silk.

Yes in deed you have found the right person and many thanks for this. I must sincerely apologise for the delay in replying my thanks as I know how infuriating it is when people donot appreciate your help and seem to just take via the internet.

Thanks agin
