Biography

Sophia, born about 1809, was the daughter of John Hatchard.^[1] On April 24, 1832, she married Dr. James Bright in Holy Trinity Church, Clapham, Surrey.^[2]

in the late 1830s, James practised in Wimbledon, where their children were born. The Brights apparently left Wimbledon around 1844 and relocated to London. ^[3][4][5]

After the 1861 Census, the Brights appear to have moved to Cheltenham, where Sophia died in 1871.^[6][7][8]
