According to Cemetery Scribes, Moshe Cohen (so also presumably Sophia) lived at the following addresses: 1841 Wentworth Street (it was 23 Wentworth Street aka Petticoat Lane). 1851 West Pottergate Street, Heigham, Norwich. 1861 22 Distillery Street, Heigham, Norwich.
Death registered at Norwich in March 1863. GRO ref 4b 126. Address was Swan Lane, Norwich. Sophia is buried in the Earlham Road Jewish cemetery in Norwich.
Cemetery Scribes gives the names of Sophia's children as: Julia, Philip, Ellen and Jane. She had more children than this but perhaps these are the ones in Norwich, the others still being in London. Unfortunately, her maiden name is not given in the details of her death.
