Pomgolian Many thanks for your help I thought it would have been upside down in your native tongue. After this time Sophie disappears never to be seen again well at least I can't find her.
 
Just a thought Jon, do you think it is possible that Sophia as she was 12 years old could have been sent into 'Service' in another area of the UK, or even sent overseas as a 'Home-child'. I knew that boys of 12 and over were often sent to Naval school down South to Portsea (Portsmouth ), or up North to the Durham area. I have two such relatives in my tree who were sent to sea from Workhouses/Orphanages regardless to having a living parent.
