Wonder if any person can find the maiden name of the wife of Benjamin Wright. She was born in Donisthorpe, Leicestershire in c.1837, Her christian name was Hannah. Benjamin was born in Oakthorpe, Derbyshire in c.1834. Reckon the marriage took place at the latter part of the 1850s. Thanks a lot in anticipation.
