Essex is a big county so can you tell us anything else please?

Do you know who their parents were?

I know that George did not marry till 1908 and died I believe in Hampshire in 1920s. He was apparently born in Waltham Abbey or Walthamstow

George's father was also called George but I don't know for sure whether his mother was Elizabeth.
Louisa's Father was possibly William

Louisa comes up with various names on Census records, Louisa, Laura, Sara, she married William Teaster in 1861 and had at least 2 daughters, Elizabeth and Annie who was my grandmother.

how about the one I posted for Great Leighs - father George?

It's not a lot of info Christine. I can't seem to find a Louisa other than the census I put up in my first post.

The 1861 census says she was born in Nazing Essex.

Why do you think these two could be connected?

Louisa was my Great Grandmother, and George was my Great Great uncle. I can't find how to get George into the tree without finding the link, I know it has to be there somewhere but of course it is so far back that census records don't help.

I think they may have been cousins but just don't know how to connect them
