Hi David, This could be our Margaret Caley
Class: HO107; Piece: 2523; Folio: 365; Page: 3; GSU roll: 105992-105996. 1851 census - a house servant in the home of Thomas Mylea.
Yes, the damaged records looking like a distinct possibility for Sophia. Have done some quick searching on the possible Liverpool scenario. More to do.
Thank you for your offer to search at NSW Archives, it is much appreciated. And just a note on LENG. George is shown as LENY on Ancestry. I've looked at the image and after 6 years transcribing for FreeBMD, I am sure it should be LENG, so have put in a correction.
Thanks again. Maureen
