What is Joseph's Wife's Name?

[Tsu]

Can anyone make out what this name is?

Joseph Pritchard is married to?  It's transcribed as Sophia, but I can't find a birth or a marriage.  Born c 1831 in Liverpool.  Image taken from the 1861 census.

I can't find the daughter "Janet" either.

It looks like HUGH Pritchard & Iris to me. There are descenders from the G above dropping into both words.

If you are looking for William is this the right entry? William is the son.

I was looking for Joseph Pritchard - painter.  This one is transcribed as Joseph Pritchard - Journeyman Painter.  He's the only Painter called Joseph Pritchard I can find in the 1861.
I have him on his daughter Margaret Jane's marriage certificate in Nov 1861.

I would say this entry is Hugh Pritchard with wife Jane.

(Not William or Joseph!)

[Suttonrog]

Sorry - mistyped the 1st William - I meant Joseph. The married head does not look like Joseph.

So - about the Margaret Jane - from censuses after her marriage, when and where was she born? Perhpas we can then find her in 1861 and 1851 (remember she may have made a dad called Jospeh up for the marriage cert)

[Suttonrog]

Yes - looking at the Janet (daughter) I agree.

All I know about Margaret Jane is from her marriage certificate.

She was aged 17 in Nov 1861 a spinster and her father was Joseph Pritchard a painter.

Oh, and the marraige (yo Joel Saxon) was at Manchester cathedral.  Joel was from Manchester.
