Possible parents of Sophia King
married about 1800

William King
Birth: abt 1780. (source: an IGI entry for a possible marriage date: see under Marriage.
Possible marriage: 1799 or 1801 at Westleton, Suffolk to Mary Meen (source: two IGI entries, neither supplying a batch number; one suggests a birth date of 1780)
Mary Meen
Birth: abt 1780. (source: Four IGI entries for a Mary Meen in Westleton, Suffolk give birth dates of 1778, 1780, 1782 and 1785. Two further IGI entries combine a marriage to William King (one in 1801, the other in 1806), with birth dates of 1780 and 1785. No source information is available.
Five other IGI entries for a Mary Meen birth between 1779 and 1785 are to be found for Fressingfield (3),Chediston and Denham. There is also a Suffolk Family History Society entry for a Mary Meen birth at Saxmundham in 1780.
None of these places appear to be close to Barton Mills, Herringswell or Tuddenham; so the identification remains uncertain.
Possible marriage: 1799 or 1801 at Westleton, Suffolk to Mary Meen (source: two IGI entries, neither supplying a batch number; one suggests a birth date of 1778, one 1780; yet a third places the marriage at 1806, with no district named, on the late side for Sophia`s birth, dating Mary`s birth to 1785)
