Louisa Carver was born on May 4th, 1837 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island to Joseph Carver and Catherine Cummings.  She was the third of five children.  She was baptized Roman Catholic on  June 8th, 1837 at St. Dunstan's Basilica by James F. Morris.  She married Peter Weatherby(1836-1914) on October 4th, 1861 in Lot 49, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Their first child, Mary Ann Weatherby, was born on September 8th, 1862 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada.  And the family lived in Charlottetown until Louisa's death.  Their second child, Catherine J. Weatherby, was born on January 26th, 1864. Their first  son, John Thomas Weatherby was born on August 19th, 1867.  Their second son, Peter Weatherby was born on June 29th, 1870.  He was followed by Michael Weatherby on April 22nd, 1872.

Margaret Elizabeth Weatherby was born on October 17th, 1876.  She is not listed in the 1881 census, so likely died before 1881.  William Augustus Weatherby was born on June 30th, 1879.  The 1881 census shows Louisa living with her husband, and some of his children, namely Catherine, John Thomas, Peter, Michael and William.  Mary Ann would have been around 19 and may have moved out, though she didn't get married until 1887.  The entire family are listed as Roman Catholic except her husband, who was a Wesleyan Methodist. 

Their last child, Frances Bernard Weatherby was born on March 24th, 1883.  In 1888, Peter is listed in the city index as living at 20 Clark.  In 1890, the city index shows him as living on Palmer's Lane.   All the evidence supports Louisa still living with him.  The 1891 has Louisa living with her husband and John, Peter, Michael, William and Frances.  Peter is listed as being a member of the Free Church His profession is doing something with coal, which I can't fully decipher and a laborer.  His sons John and Peter are listed as being a fisherman and a painter, respectively.  There is a 1 year old child named Mary listed as being a lodger.

The 1901 census has Louisa and Peter living with their sons John, Peter, William and Francis.  Peter Senior is listed as being a laborer and having an annual income of $100.  John is also a laborer, but doesn't show any income.  Peter is a painter, making about $200 a year.  William is a sailor, making $350 a year, and Francis is a painter, making $150 a year from painting and $150 a year from other jobs.  None of them worked the entire year and between them they brought in $950 the previous year.  There is also a girl, Mary A., listed as being Peter Seniors daughter.  Given that she is age 11 I find this to be highly unlikely and is more likely Louisa's granddaughter.  She is probably the same Mary listed as a lodger in the 1891 census.  They also have a 7 month old boarder named John C. Monoghan living with them.

By 1911, she is living with husband and granddaughter Annie, age 8.  Louisa died about 1911 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
