Thanks to all. I knew a lot of the info already but some interesting bits I didn't know, especially the stuff on the electoral rolls. I am still looking for Louisa's married name to trace her death.
 
Louisa Boswell marriage Aston September quarter 1909 ref 6D 503

The reference gives only one man and another woman besides Louisa. The man's name is Ernest Watts, but it is by no means certain that he is the husband, you will need to order the certificate to be sure.

yes i checked this and i think ernest watts married the other woman on the list for that year. i tried to find the husband of louisa but there were far too many to go through. as di says, if you can i would send for the marriage cert.
 
I found this one too but as you say it's difficult to tell who married who! Guess I'll have to spend a bit of money! Thanks anyway.
