Do you need this look up?

Yep, I havent added it to looks ups yet though.
Just going through Sophia trying to find her father, I am sure thats a mistake, Solomon, and her father should be Samuel.

Jo

was it that on the original so poss error by clergy?
or was it one we have looked up?

possible error by clergy I think.
It says Solomon but I cant find any Sophia with father Solomon and she is living with a Samuel in 1881 and with other possible siblings in 1871.
