Hi, I'm looking for any information the origins of Sophia Sidaway born c1815 in Rowley/Reddall Hill.

I know she married William Edwards in 1834 at St Thomas', Dudley and she had 10 children including my 3rd great grandmother Mary Ann (who married James Morgan in 1861 at St Thomas', Dudley)

I know she definitely wasn't Sophia Clarissa Martha Round Sidaway! Someone once suggested Sophia Lettice Sidaway but she was baptised at Old Swinford so I discounted her.
I just so far don't have a clue who her parents were.

Kind regards, Justine

Thank you. Yes that is my Sophia in the census', I'd discounted the baptism as it's Old Swinford and in the census' she's from Rowley but I'll
have another look at them

Is this still a Brickwall, or have you solved it?
