==Background==
She was born in Norwich 1811. Her father was Samuel Skipper b. 1781 in Sinfield, Norfolk and her mother was Amelia Powell b. 1782 in Beccles, Suffolk. Although born in Norwich, her earlier life was spent in the rural village of Forncett. She attended a school run by a Unitarian minister, whose family loaned her many books. She attended the Parish Church in the morning and the Unitarian chapel in the afternoon.〔( Brief Memorial of Louisa Sewell Abbs )〕 She became involved with the Church Missionary Auxiliary in Norwich, She assisted in organising prayer meetings, collecting for the church and the Jewish community, visiting the poor and afflicted. She became a member of the tabernacle and a Sabbath school teacher, although she maintained her relationships with her Christian fellowship.
When she was 18 she offered her services as a teacher in the West Indies in one of the Church Mission Schools, The committee highly approved of her zeal and piety although they thought of her too young for such an important undertaking.
Louisa married Rev. John Abbs 15 Sep 1837 at the Princes Street Chapel, Norwich, Norfolk.
