I have just checked the new Criminal Register on Ancestry and cannot find any details on Sophia Usher. The Sophia from Kent isn't her. |

Hi Blossom how old was Sophia on the 1871, do you have a DOB for her ? |

Found the age etc, just wondering if as opposed to 'being convicted' of a crime, she may have been in a 'debtors' part of the prison? don't know if that would maybe go through a lower court, local magistrate perhaps rather than county? |

I wonder if this might be her death? |

There are prison registers for Woking (assuming this is the same place), at the National Archives, Kew, covering the date you're interested in, under reference PCOM 2/143. It's not online though. You'd have to go there or get someone to go for you. |

Thanks very much - I've made a note of that, and will check if I'm ever going that way. |

Hi, Blossom, you are indeed correct about the prison in Woking, it doesnt exist now, there are now houses built on it, it was along side the old army houses, they to have been modernised and sold of. The nearest prison to knaphill now is Bisley, good luck with your search, ...... Patricia |

Sorry Beverley - just seen your message. Yes, the Sophia born in Woodbridge was married to Jonathan and I think the death cert I got for St Giles was her. I spent a long time muddling her up with my Sophia. Do you want the cert - I have no need for it. |
