Hi Graham Gabriel BILLING married Sophia WICKSON Mar 1840 Thame (district). It would appear that Elizabeth bn 1833 dau. of Joseph & Elizabeth , described as "dau in law" is probably Sophia's niece. Did Sophia have a brother Joseph? The parents may have died and Elizabeth went to live with a relative. the term "dau in law" can cover, niece, step-daughter, etc. No formal adoption at that time.
