Thanks Marg

Although neither appears to be my Sophia after all. But it made me check my research and wonder how I feel into such an easy trap. A death in Camberwell where she lived in 1861, rather than a death in Middlesex where she lived in 1881 census. I guess part of it is not knowing London geography very well, and not checking what the registration districts should be.
