I too would be interested in the parentage of Sophia Roberts 1804 as I have 364 Roberts in my family tree and it would be nice to turn a "connected" person into a relative.

Regarding the 1877 death, the date would make sense, her first husband James Collins died 2 Jun 1870, buried 5 Jun 1870 - An Inclineman he was killed in Trafalgar Colliery - In attaching a loaded tram to a set, the trigger slipped on a sleeper and the set backed and crushed him to death.

Prudence was therefore head of house in 1871 as James Collins had died the year before, she married George Gibbs 28 Sep 1873, but she was head of house again in 1881.
