  Research Notes:

Louisa's two marriages provide contradictory information. According to the details provided for her first marriage to Charles Fordham, Louisa was the daughter of Richard Fordham. After Charles died and Louisa Fordham, widow, remarried to Thomas Taplin, her father's name is shown as Joseph Buck. According to the Newington St. Mary Parish Register, Louisa was the natural-born (illegitimate) daughter of Mary Fordham. It seems like then that Joseph Buck was the reputed father.
