Hi Wendy.  I have a Sophia Childs chr 17.01.1784 St James' Church, Chignal St James, died 1845 Chelmsford.  She married 1809 St James' Church, Chignal St James to a Samuel Fewell b 1789 Great Waltham.  They had 5 children: Thomas, William, Samuel, James and Sarah.  Sophia's parents I have as Thomas Childs and Mary. 
Any connection?
Cheers
Julie
