so glad that worked out! 

Tracing Sophia might be a bit of a struggle, her age varies  - 29 in 1891 so born c. 1862,  birth c. 1866 in a later census, death reg gives birth year of 1859. I had a possible for her in 1871 aged 9 RG10/5565 folio 34 pg 11 with mother Elizabeth. I found a possible marriage for Elizabeth Richards & Thomas Jones in dec qtr 1881, all going nicely I thought and then I spotted that Elizabeth still a widow in 1891. So, perhaps the Elizabeth marrried to Thomas Jones was the mother of Elizabeth Jane's father, rather than Sophia Priscilla.

hi,just checked sophia on freeb.m.d. and she was 73 when she died so that would make her birth 1859,but as you say so many different d.o.b on the censuses it going to be tricky tracking her down.

hi,brevitas,any chance you check this out if you have the 1871 census,
   sophia richards born 1858,in cardigan

Hi tac

The one given in 1871 is the only one born circa 1858-9 in Cardiganshire. Llanfihangel Geneur Glyn is just north of Aber - inland from Borth.

hi,gnu
         on free b.m.d sophia is down as being 73 at death, so that would make her birth 1859,so i thought may be this is her

[Gadget]

Hi tac

As stated, the Sophia I gave in Reply #29 is the only one born around that time and living in the area. As she is 13 (and 3 in 1861) she looks as if she was born in 1857/58. I've checked the BMDs and this entry looks interesting:

June q 1857, Aberystwyth vol 11b p 69

Not found anything later in that area.

[tac]

thank you ,i think sophia was born @1859,as i would go by the free b.m.d as the censuses do give different dates of birth.
                                                        once again, thanks for your help
