Individual Note

Birth (Register 2c 248). Marriage (Register 1a 668), Death (Register 7c 1102).

The details of death are guesswork, and require more research. The death register for this entry gives the first name as Sophie, and not Sophia.

 

The fact that Sophia's name at birth is Freebody, and her married name is Freeman causes some risk of confusion when searching records at different times. At the time of entering these details no other Sophia or Sophie Freeman has been found to have a birth date under their maiden name in the year 1877.
