*Arc pend more info* -Trying To Find Sophia Faulkner

[Annie]

I have lost Sophia Faulkner after 1891, Sophia was born 1877 in West Bromwich Staffordshire and her parents were Edward & Jane Faulkner , on the 1891 census the family are all together then by 1901 Edward is dead and there is just Jane and a son John,.

I can't find a marriage or death for Sophia and I can't find her on the 1901 census , please can anyone find Sophia I would appreciate any help.

Mary A Faulkner 6 Dau Chirk, Denbighshire, Wales

I wonder who this William Powell is?

Do you know Jane's maiden name Annie?

[Annie]

Hi Mallosa

Yes Jane's maiden name was Dunwoody, can't find any Powells in my Tree. Sophia was not with Jane and her son John on the 1901, so I wonder where she is .

Thank you for taking the time trying to find Sophia.

Hi Jimmy

Thank you so much for finding Sophia it looks like her so will check it out, I have spent ages to day on FreeBMD trying to find Sophia marriage or death and also on the census.

Thank you for your time.

[mallosa]

Yes, nice one Jimmy! I can't find her in 1901 yet Annie, but.......our super sleuth is on now and I bet she'll find her


No pressure, Farside !

[Annie]

Hi Mallosa

I'm glad there is super sleuth on here , I'm trying to find her married to William Wellings now but think my eye's are getting tired so will pack it in till tomorrow after my visitors have been and gone .

I must try and remember to look on West Midlands BMD when I want a BMD.

If you need the marriage looked up then do add to the thread of look ups at Sandwell/Smethwick
