Joseph (1819-1891) and Gad (1820-1847) married sisters, Mary Boham (1818-1879) and Harriet Boham (1823-1858).  The intermarriage between the Humfrey families and the Bohams was already well established.  The mother of Mary and Harriet was herself a Humfrey (Mary, 1792-1860), married to William Boham (1788-1828).  William’s sister, Elizabeth (1786-) had married none other than the elder Edward Humfrey, the man who fell into a decline after his day coursing and eating at The Bull in Streatley. 

In the very first letter, the marriage of Joseph Lousley and Mary Boham is imminent.  Mysterious goings on take place with buildings in the garden of his father’s house.  Shortly the mystery is explained for Joseph and Mary next appear living in this new cottage.  Charlotte appears not to thought much of Joseph, her nephew, for he has a share in a farm at Blewbury, but I don’t know whether it’s charm or chance.  The marriage seems to have prospered because by 1844 we hear of another daughter arriving.

His brother Gad had a grocer’s shop and struck people as the steady sort.  This steadiness manifested itself partly in religious strength.  We hear of a bundle of tracts that he sends to Henry Slade via Charlotte.  Later, in 1845 he has suffered quite a serious illness, but seems on the mend.  Perhaps the remnants of this illness accounted for him in 1847.
