One of the witnesses at her marriage is a Samuel Griffiths with a middle name that I can't read. (The other one is a serial witness.) Maybe we can find reference to him somewhere else to work out what it says.

When I viewed the marriage Ancestry shows me 'suggested records' for Sophia Griffiths/Brooks.
Burial, Hackney > Shoreditch St Leonard Sophia Brooks, workhouse, 1 July 1842 aged 60 This record is saved in a public tree called Bedford. They have her as Sophia Maria Griffiths born 1780 daughter of Walter Griffiths & Jane McDonald. There doesn't appear to be any sources so obviously you've need to verify this. Kate - I think it might be John, looks to me like he's gone to sign Samuel Griffiths, signed the first few letters of Griffiths then overwritten/signed it as John. EDIT - there's quite a few trees with her parents as Walter & Jane, tho lacking any source!

Yes I've seen that tree but I can't work out where they got the information from I have searched and couldn't find anything.
BTW I don't know why I put 1772 for her approx DOB more like 1780 I would think. There is a death reg for that burial so I will send for the death certificate at some point but I have a list that I am working my way through slowly to disperse the cost a bit  http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin...26pgPLz0q3dpid Not sure what that middle name is but you could be right about Samuel deciding to write a middle name after starting Griffiths.
