I'm really not sure how you can say it is definiely her when her age is out by 10 years and wasn't your Sophia born in Dorset whereas this Sophia gives her place of birth as Somerset?
I have to go and get some dinner prepared but i will look again later for you if no-one else picks it up.

She is definitely the same one. Thank you so much. Just a shame we don't know more about James Evans just his marriage then living in Chelsea.
Cheeky of me I know but would you be able to find anything out about Sophia's mother. Elizabeth Hook. married 2 feb 1789 to George Stayner in BATH ABBEY SOMERSET.

The census i posted for her and James is the 1851 and she is 35 years old. She is consistent with being born 1815/1816 throughout the census records.

This is her in 1861

Sophia Evans

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1815
Relation: Wife

Gender: Female
Where born: Bath, Somerset, England
Civil parish: Chelsea

Benjamin Evans 15

For Sophia Stainer I have the following:
Baptism 31 August 1806 Parish Overcrompton Dorset
parents George and Elizabeth Stayner.
The Elizabeth nee HOOK. (cannot find anything on her prior to this marriage)
Then James Evans and Sophia's marriage 12 July 1836 Think they are one and the same, where did you get the date 1816?
Plus I apologise I was so heady with all the replies and work in you finding the details out for me, I inadvertedly called you MadBull. sorry Astra.
regards Linda.

Can't find him in 1841 for definite.
Also Sophia Stainer above was born 1806 but the one who is married to James Evans was born 1816. Do we have the right one??

Oh shoo.... that's a shame, getting so much help from all of you. I just need to find more about James Evans his parents etc where he was from, when the family moved to Chelsea London. etc.
You are all so helpful and giving me your time
regards Linda.

Trumps again. Where can I go to find about James before this please.?
regards Linda.

There won't be a marriage certificate as civil registration didn't begin until 1837. There will be an entry in the Parish Register only which is copied above.

Yes I think you've cracked it again Madbull. Thank you.
Can you find anything on Sophia Stainer marring in St. Swithins Church Walcot Bath Somerset on 12/7/1836 to James Evans . As far as we know James was a carpenter. They had a son William Evans who married MaryAnn Mead 21st August 1870. Long shot but I have faith in you, you found the Turpins so quickly.
thanks Linda.
