Could the child Sophia have been named after her grandmother?

The Army record also gives James' birth as 05/11/1884. Perhaps James lied about his age on the Marriage Cert as he would have been under age!

This date of birth ties in with the birth AG found ie
GARSIDE, JAMES MMN GILBERT
GRO Reference: 1884 D Quarter in CHORLTON Volume 08C Page 807

THank you for your help yes I think Sophia is the mother
Don't know where James was going but he kept coming back Sophia seemed to have 3 more children in the 1880s sadly all three died two james was a labourer and one he was down as a shop keeper but that was the middle one of the 3
so I can add this to my tree now

Thank you again

On James' Army Record he gives the address of 53 Russell Street. James was still in the Army when the 1921 Census was taken but the following is the entry for 53 Russell Street
