Louisa Sophia the real person from History

The illegitimate child of Evelyn Baring, 1st Earl of Cromer. The real Louisa Sophia was born sometime around 1860 to an unknown Corfiot women when Baring was a young Lieutenant in the British Artillery. Nothing is known of her childhood except that her father paid two payments a year until she turned eighteen when he gave her an inheritance. Louisa was added to the plot when I found her referenced while researching the Earl of Cromer. Her age and everything in the books is fictional other than her relationship with her father..
