Hi
From Staple PR I Know
26/6/1798 Sophia Fagg was Baptized
28/10/1796 William Griggs was Baptized
I have searched most local PR and local marriage licenses but have been unable to find the marriage, if it ever took place !

not much help here but there were a lot of FAGG marriages in the parish of Newington, Kent

no Sophia from what i can see but my index does not appear to be complete

There is a marriage at Northbourne, Kent on 9th April 1825 for a William Griggs and a Sophia Read. It is noted in the entry that Sophia is a widow whilst William is a bachelor. This is right before the family start having children at Woodnesborough. Maybe it should be a marriage of a Sophia Fagg and a Mr Read that should be searched for (i.e. Sophia was married before).

Kind Regards

Hi  All
I guess the next question may be is there a William and Sophia Griggs in the Northbourne area in the 1841 census ( or indeed anywhere else in Kent )

Just taken another look at the marriage entry at Northbourne.

The marriage that occurred on 9 April 1825 at Northbourne between William Griggs (bachelor) and Sophia Read (widow) was witnessed by a Matthew Fagg and a Mary Fagg. I think that it is a safe assumption that this is the correct marriage given the surnames of the witnesses!

I have amongst my records all occurrences of the Surname Grigg, Griggs and variants for the 1841 and 1851 census found in Kent. The only Sophia to appear on the 1841 is the Sophia mentioned above. The 1851 census has 3 Sophias, the Sophia mentioned above and her daugter born 1843. The third Sophia is also only a child (born 1845) and not related to this family at all.
