My mother's maiden name is Louch. I was able, through birth certificates and census records to find her great randfather: Alfred Louch Born: England about 1846
Wife: Emma
Married: Canada
Died: Clare, Mich. USA
Occupation: Blacksmith
Alfred put down on the 1880 Census (Clare, Clare, MI. USA) that he and both his parents were born in England. He was 34 at the time of the census. First moved to Canada, then on to USA. May have moved from England with his parents to Canada.There is a cluster of Louchs in and around the Toronto, Canada area. Also another cluster in and around Mid-Michgan, USA....Any information you may have on these Louch's would be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
