In the 1871 census, Louise is listed as Lousia LIDDELL. She's 20, a cook, living in a household in Lorbottle, Northumberland with a 44 year old groom and a 24 year old housemaid. It's a little difficult to figure out who they work for...

Reference: RG10/5193 Folio 21 Page 3

I don't see Edward and I would imagine that Louise's sisters have married by 1871. I also don't see Robert LIDDELL, the blacksmith.

Henry LIDDELL, now 35, still a Gameskeeper, is also living in Northumberland with his wife Mary, daughters Ann, Isabella and Emily and sons Edward and John [both born in 1863 -- could be twins].

Reference: RG10/5192 Folio 40 Page 5

Given the similarity in family given names, I wouldn't be surprised if Henry is an older brother of Louise.

HTH,

Trish
