Daughter in law was used not only in its current meaning, but also where we would use stepdaughter, or adopted daughter. Were her parents dead?

a second go at sending this: Are you sure you have the right birth? at this time the term daughter (or son) in law usually indicates a step child though perhaps in this case it could mean sister in law? freebmd has Gabriel Billing married Sophie Wickson Jan - Mar 1840 at Thame. I don’t have Abingdon PR CDs so perhaps you could ask the list to check Sophie birth for you and to double check that there is no Elizabeth daughter of Sophie born about 1832 if you can’t access them yourself If you have only been searching on line it is unlikely that you will find these people as the Oxfordshire PRs have not been released yet – see last week’s posts Wendy -----Original Message----- From: Paul Irving Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 9:49 AM To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [OXF] Elizabeth WICKSON Daughter in law was used not only in its current meaning, but also where we would use stepdaughter, or adopted daughter.
