n.b. the original index clearly shows the page number as 174, but the online index shows 74; I don't know which is correct.
Baptised 16 Dec 1844 St. Mary of Charity Church, Faversham, Kent, England - From PR entry, viewed on microfilm in the Canterbury Cathedral Archives
"Decr. 16th No. 1848. Sophia Dr. of Michael and Mercy Goatham, abode: Abbey Street, father's occupation: coal-meter, ceremony performed by J. D. Birt Curate."
(Archive reference U3/146/1/5)
Gender Female Residence 1871 11, Eden Cottage, Bromley, Kent, England Residence to 1875 3, Shortlands Villas, Beckenham, Kent, England - Probably where she died, it is where her last child was born and where her husband was living when he reigstered that birth.
Occupation ? Died Between 6 Jan 1875 and 15 Feb 1875 Bromley Reg Dist, Kent, England Cause: Childbirth - GRO ref: Inge, Sophia aged 30 q1 1875 Bromley RD 2a 248
* I am guessing that Sophia died as a result of childbirth *
For a young woman, dying the same quarter as a child was born, this has to be the most likely cause. In Sophia's case we can tell from the birth registration for her daughter that she died between the birth and when it was registered.
