Here's how to get the answer to your question completely free of charge.

1. Go to the National Archives 1901 site.
2. Enter Sophia's details.
3. Note that she lives in the county of Worcestershire and parish of Worcester.
4. Search again and select advanced options and additional place details.
5. Enter the county and parish names in the place (advanced) section and just the surname (nothing else) in the personal details section.
6. Hit search and you'll get a list of all Drinkwaters in the parish.
7. Hover the mouse over the "image" icon for Sophia and look at the status bar. Note the last few characters in the ID number (where it says "&enc=..."). You'll ned to have the status bar visible for this.
8. Now hover the mouse over the icon for all the others people in turn and look for a match. In this case Sophia matches with William the coachman. There are no other matches so that's your answer - Sophia and William are still together and there's nobody else living with them.

Magic. And free!
