I am still trying to sort out family history, but so far believe Louisa is my great grandmother on my paternal side.

Louisa married James Brann who came from count cavan, Ireland and they had seven children.

They lived in Glenlyon Victoria and unfortunately Louisa died by falling in the fire whilst cooking in 1868. I am still trying to join up information in between these years but I am so grateful to be able to record the information I have on this site.  It makes me feel I am really part of her life.
