1838, September 30 - An entry in the diary of Rev. William Waterfield, the first Independent (Congregational) minister in Melbourne, records: "Sabbath. This morning I had a very excellent congregation. I preached from Ps. 4.3. Had much liberty and hoped much good was done. I then baptised three children: William Ackerly Robins born 13th instant, son of Thomas and Elizabeth; William Wilson born 25th July, son of John and Catherine; Louisa Humphreys born 7th September, daughter of William and Louisa. May the spirit of the Lord regenerate their hearts...." (Reproduced in Historical Record of Victoria: Vol. 3, p544.)

1840 - Baptised again, this time by A. C. Thomson, chaplain, with sister Anne Victoria. Named as Louisa Jane, daughter of William and Louisa HUMPHREYS. Birthdate given as 7 September 1838.

Known as Granny Carter, Louisa had the first shop in Healesville. It was in the main street of Healesville (Maroondah Highway) on the right side coming in from Melbourne, and a few doors down from the Post Office. The OLD National Bank may have later been on the site. Zoe Carter and Teenie Taylor worked there as teenagers.
