How have you got back to John and Louisa. If you know they married, do you have the marriage certificate? If so, what are the details on it ?

Nurse child simply means the child was being looked after by someone other than a parent sometimes because the birth parents were unable to due to circumstances beyond their control such as mother not well enough after child birth and dad having to work, Often taken in by extended family or friends and not always for financial gain
