Hi James
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to say I only just noticed that it had been posted. I believe I did make some progress with this after posting my original query. Just checking my records - yes - it appears that I had decided that Sophia was NOT part of the family I was researching. My main interest is in the children of Rev. John Gowing and his wife Charlotte Sones.
I have found that names on death certs are not terribly reliable, especially when the death happened half a world away from where the child was born and the informant may have had only scant knowledge of the family.
So, just out of curiosity, which one was your direct ancestor?
Regards
Rachel
