Event Date: 9 Apr 1878

Address for both - 127 St Anne's Street

Witnesses: Elizabeth McCarthy & Charles Dyas (the latter seems to be a professional witness as is on other pages)

Sophia Porter married 17/10/1852 to William Nicholas.
She was a minor and he full age dad of Sophia was Joseph Porter and the witness's were Elizabeth Porter and Thomas Rich.Address Dudley street.

So would she have been older than stated on 1881 census!!

1871 Kensington Town 28b . 54
Sophia Nicholas says 1818 but more like 1838 needlewoman no status ie married widow etc
James 1863 kensington
Emily 1868 Kensington.

So this is the same woman.

Thank you everyone - I really do appreciate your help.
Armed with all this information, think I now have a few more questions to ask my family, such as a possible Canadian link?
I'm a little bit rusty to say the least as I've not been doing my tree for a while now, but hopefully after processing all the info I'll be back on track.
Thank you one again
