Suggest you contact Gloucestershire Archives and obtain copy of the entry from the Gloucester Gaol Register. See this web page for info:

A search of the Index gives the following:

This tells us that Sophia was from Knighton, Radnorshire (now Powys) and it is possible the register entry may provide more.

A search for Susan Price gives:
