Oh good thats confirmed as Mary, my internet access at home is so slow i gave up

Arthur is not married in 1901
nor Ellen
that makes it harder to find marriages for them esp. as the 1911 is PPV

so are we on to Lily b. 1883?

Sophia poss. married James Stockbridge
however i do not know if this is the case
again no marriages
and unlike Charlotte no Edwell's
on the census with Stockbridges

1861
 RG10;  1302; 49;  26;


Sophia Edwell married Henry Cosstick  at All Souls Church, St Marylebone, in London on 9 April 1844.  They had two children Henry 1846 and Ellen 1848.  The children apparently died and Sophia and Henry emigrated to Australia in 1853.  The story of the emigration is told here:- http://cosstick.blogspot.com/2007/05/3-emigrants.html

Henry became manager of a number of goldmines in Victoria.  The full story of Henry and Sophia's life in Australia can be found here:- http://cosstick.blogspot.com/2007/05/5-goldminers.html

Hopefully this helps with the Sophia Edwell mystery.  I am trying to find out more about what she was doing in London before 1853 so any details would be appreciated.
