Although this particular web site - link below, is for American census, (took a while for me to discover my Great Aunt Pat) was christened Martha - this does say Eliza is a nickname for Louisa

I have found the baptism for my 3XG Grandmother Louisa Williams 15 May 1859 St. Briavels Father James Mother Jane. By the 1861 census Jane is a widow and is on the census with 4 children, Ellen aged 8, Sarah J aged 6, James aged 4 and Eliza aged 2. I have looked for a baptism for Eliza and cannot find one that matches the approx birth year of 1859 and neither can I find any sign of Louisa on the census. My conclusion is that Eliza is infact Louisa (I suppose if said quick enough the names do sound similar).

Any thoughts?
