Many thanks, Treespirit. Will not rule her out yet but looks doubtful. The search goes on. Our priority is still John Thomas Gordon & Sophia Harriet Peters. We have an old photo postcard (late Victorian)  of Sophia with her sister, Maud & her mother (name unknown) but no father. Elderly relatives said Sophia was born in Berlin but unable to confirm that.
