Post by: aitch on Friday 13 April 18 22:19 BST (UK)
Would someone please have time to do a look up on the 1861 Census for a Sophia Southy WATT who died in Staffordshire in 1863.  I don't know where she was born, but she was born around 1831.
Many thanks :)

Brilliant - thank you Suz & ScobieDrom.    She is buried in Alton and was obviously not a local so this goes a long way to explaining why she's buried in the village.
Many thanks for your help - much appreciated  :) :)
