Barry, rather than us stabbing in the dark and inundating you with possibly unrelated records could you give us some further information as to what you know about Sophia?

Jacqueline

Jacqueline Report 22 Sep 2014 22:40

What was her surname in 1947 when she died?

How do you know that her father was called Stephen?

What would her surname have been in 1901 and 1911?

We need more from you than you have given so far
