Still no luck with 1891

Maureen

Dont be too tight with the year of birth though - it could easily fall at least a year either way or more.

Yes, it def says Cook on the 1871 image - hope someone has made a correction!! Juliana?

Dads a chimney sweep.

Not having any luck with 1891

Maureen

Thats her on the 1881 census.

I've literally done a ancestry wide search for all Sophias born in 1869, leaving the surname blank and no have had no joy...
I've also checked death records and can't find one for her!

Not found her in 1871?


Maureen

There are a couple of Sophia's marrying in Norfolk - have you seen those? But I guess she could have moved anywhere during that period - a lot of girls went into service - could be London or virtually any area.

I've tried looking for a marriage but have had no luck and then just done a general search of sophia (left the surname open) born in 1869 on the 1891 census to take into account if her surname changed but no luck with that either!
The family were living in Lowestoft in Suffolk.

Thanks,
Juliana

I would imagine she married. I can't find her on 1871 or 1881 - where is she living?

Sam x

I'm really struggling to find any information on one of my relatives -

Sophia Isabella B Cook born in 1869 in Mutford, Suffolk. She lived with her family at the time on the 1871 and 1881 census but I cannot find her anywhere after that??

Can anyone help???

Many thanks,
Juliana
