*Archive TBC* Sophia Unknown on BCC... Grangers 14 adding

Postby sp1 » Sun Jan 20, 2019 1:27 am

This Sophia, married to John Wooldridge:

Checking the births of all of their children on the GRO site her maiden name is definitely BILLINGHAM.

I think the 30 July 1837 marriage at Edgbaston, John Wooldridge & Sophia Bennett is also correct because we have:
14 Apr 1817, Kingswinford, Thomas Bennett & Sophia Billingham!!

Sophia Wooldridge (ie nee Billingham) died March Qtr 1882, registered Stourbridge, aged 84 (GRO site)
I think she is the one already on BCC bapt 1797 at Cradley, Worcs:

I wonder what Linell thinks - I think this is her line?

I'm still checking, but Thomas Bennett & Sophia appear to have had children bapt at Old Swinford:
Phoebe, 21 Feb 1819
Mary Ann, 9 Sept 1821
Thomas, 19 Feb 1832

There is a big gap so there may be some more.
