Louisa married at St Clement's church, Ipswich on 16 August 1825, David Hanbury (1800-1836), a brewer & banker, of Sudbury and of Haughley, Suffolk. Louisa's grandmother, Elizabeth Cobbold prevailed upon the noted artist John Constable to instruct her granddaughter Louisa Emily in the art of drawing, and Constable also painted Elizabeth's stepdaughters Harriet and Sophia, which is in the British Museum.
