Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: Wing - ROW / ROWE parish records lookup please

Hi Susan,
That would be fantastic if you could help. I hope it is not too much trouble for you, although I fear that this Rowe family is too complicated a puzzle, as I have just received the marriage cert of Sophia Row, and it shows her fathers name as William Pratt.... So now we have yet more to confuse us, Sophia could have been baptised Sophia Pratt, although there is nothing in the IGI Wing baptisms for this name.
Now I know that this is definitely the right Sophia, because whilst Elizabeth is living with daughter Hannah Garner & family in the 1841 and 1851 censii, she is then living with Sophia Merridell and family in the 1861 census. (Sophia and Samuel are also living with the Garners in 1841.)
As my direct line through Samuel is clear, i.e. parents of Joseph and Elizabeth, I just need to find out who Joseph and Elizabeth were and when Elizabeth was born, and I had hoped that her daughters Hannah and Sophia might help me trace her, but they are just making the whole search even more complicated.
Thanks for all your help Susan
Kind regards
Marion
p.s. I have a suspicion that Joseph Row did not come from Wing as I can't find him there either (although the marriage record might state if he was of the parish or not, of course it doesn't mean he was born there, just living there.)
