Louise Kent's children stated Louise never knew who her parents were. She was born London England (records verify this) and raised by an "aunt". That's all that was known. DNA of one of Louise's great grandchildren solved this mystery. Louise was born July 17, 1877. Her parents, Josiah Kent and Harriet Hemsley were living at 120 Whitfield St, St Savior St Pancras, Middlesex, England (part of Greater London). Louise had 3 older brothers born between 1869 and 1873. DNA of Louise's great grand child matches 2 of these brothers. As an infant Louise was registered at the infirmary St Pancras School at Leavesden. Records seem to indicate her mother had health problems. The father took the 3 boys to his original home Kings Lynn, Norfolk. April 6, 1883 Louise was released to Mary Aries at Marsh Gibbons, Buckinghamshire. April 6 was the date she used for her birthdate. The home has guessed at her age. Louise and another foster child spent the rest of their childhood with Mary Aries and her daughter Mary. It appeared from records they were considered adopted children and well treated. Marsh Gibbons was the home of Evelyn Mary Holmes who married Robert Lancelot Carr. Evelyn's father was the parish minister. They lived in a large rectory and hired young women to work as servants. It is probably under these circumstances Louise met Evelyn Mary Holms Carr. Louise died from the flu pandemic of 1918/19 following the birth of her last child.
