Louisa waved a long goodbye from the dock as another of her children set sail on a perilous voyage to Australia. She knew she’d never see any of them again as she choked back her tears. How dire was her life for her to make these decisions? What happened to her first and second husbands? Researching family history always brings mysteries to be solved and that’s part of the reason for this website.
The fair woman in the central photo is Louisa Ker. Maybe she wasn't as demure as her portrait depicts – living in early 19th century London had plenty of adversity for Louisa to contend with. She first married Peter Peterson in 1800, bearing two daughters and a son. Thus, the Ker and Peterson names also colour our tree with their tales. Louisa then married Johan Uhr in 1811 and together they had 5 sons.
