    Well 3 to be precise.

    Sophia Thorp[e] was born in 1819, in Stratton Audley (Oxfordshire) d/o George and Sarah (Dormer).
    On 12/8/1839 Sophia marries William Wise in Twyford Buckinghamshire, (just over the border from Oxfordshire).
    They are together on the 1841 census in Twyford - HO107 piece44 book31 folio3 page1
    William is an ag. lab.
    In 1844 a son Joseph (William's father's name) is registered in Twyford
    I cannot see any other children.
    Nor can I find trace of the three of them in any further census.
    Nor sign of any deaths.
    Can anyone help?

    Found a Wiki Tree. They came to NSW. Their daughter Sara Ann Wise (3rd child) was born at Pretty Plains NSW in 1849. Pretty Plains is 20 minutes from me.

    Sophia is buried at Millthorpe, near me. :D She was buried at Millthorpe 7/8/1896. She died of bronchitis and heart disease.
    William died in 1900 from Dropsy and Bright’s disease at 1 am 23/6/1900. He is buried at CofE Cemetery Newbridge which is near Millthorpe.
    If you want me to follow the family let me know.
    There are 9 children.

    Thank you so much AM, no wonder they eluded me.
    OH's family never moved far from their Oxfordshire roots for generations, so Sophia is the first, I have found, who didn't.
    I have several of her siblings to trace as well, perhaps they followed suit?
    I would love the children's names and yob's but will not be following them, at this time. Sophia is his 5th g.g.dad's sister.

    I owe you the coffee when you go to Millthorpe {-(^^)-}give them a wave from us.

    Just as a complete aside, and a co-incidence, MIL was born in a Newbridge, the one in Co Kildare!

    No. Charles on the manifest age 7. There is another Thomas born 1862 at Pretty Plains. Maybe the first one died. Charles Wise married Mary O'Brien at Vittoria (near Guyong) in 1902
    Although Thomas Joseph is the only one I cant find on BDM

    There was a brother Joseph (no George) bap 25/1/1824 to the same parents:)
    so it is a fair bet he is William's brother.

    Have plenty of those myself:D
    I will make a note of Joseph and Matilda - the Thorp[e] family are OH's family, but you never know when a snippet could be useful:)
