Hi,
I would like help please to trace Sophia Ogden, she was born in Blackley Manchester about 1840, her father was Benjamin Ogden and mother Mary.
Sophia married John Horridge in 1859 in Manchester.
I can see the entry for Sophia on the 1861 UK Census but I am unable to find her on a later census. I have searched for a death and emigration records but I have been unsuccesfull.
Any information is appreciated.
Regards
Graham Ogden

Hi,
Thank you to all for your responses and the information supplied. I hadn't realised she had remarried.
I can now move on.

No marriage can be found between her & Jabez. See my reply 3
Divorce was a rarity in those days so if John Horridge was still alive she would not be free to marry Jabez
