Hickenbotham, was my best guess.
Thank you every one that had a look.

She is transcribed as Louisa Prise.

The others are:-

Maria Hickenbottom (or Hickinbottom, or Hickinbotham))
Betsey Hickenbottomm daughter
Ann Maria Hickenbottom, daughter
Nancy Prise (or Price), daughter - widow
William Prise

So it looks as if Louisa and William are Nancy's children.

I'd be grateful if someone could help me read a census page.
I'm looking at the household where lived Louisa Price born 1845 tipton. In the 1861 census of 68 wood st , Dudley , Tipton. There are five names, Louisa Price is the fourth. But i'm having trouble reading the other names.
