Notes
A Google search gives a page description with the title "RootsWeb: BUCKINGHAM-L Re: James Silk BUCKINGHAM 1786-1855" and a description: "Virginia Sappho born c. 1809, married 1831 at Westminster, London, to Henry Runciman Drewry" the RootsWeb page confirms James Silk B. as her father.
IGI records also have a Virgina Sopphe Buckingham christened 04 Aug 1817 in Mylor, Cornwall, England. The parents' names are given as James and Elizabeth Buckingham.
From Kath Williams
Mylor prarish church, Cornwall, baptisms (from LDS microfilm no. 1596064):
4 August 1817 - "Virginia Sappho, daughter of James and Elizabeth Buckingham of Flushing, Merchant". A note in the left margin - "being at time of baptism nine years".
Note: three babies were baptised that day, Virginia, her brother James Alexander Silk Buckingham, and their cousin, Jane Millar (daughter of Mary Buckingham and John Millar, Master Mariner).
In the 'Autobiography of James Silk Buckingham, vol. 2', he mentions his daughter Virginia as 'nearly four' in late 1812.
