One or two Indian marriages please?
Did Sophia remarry to a husband's brother or is this just a mistake?
There may be some muddle as some of the husband's family seem to have introduced a hyphen to become HUME-SPRY.
I have yet to sort out the whole family but I find that some of the HUME-SPEY family have local connections.
I have spotted some related TRANT family.
Many thanks for your help.
