Sorry, could be an age thing, George married May Swift, who is the sister of Francis Gertrude, my husbands Grandma

Heather. Thankyou I will do that as I have got the the date of their marriage, my husband has heard of Stennett Wright, I will ask his Uncle Bill, think it may have been his cousin, he has still got a good memory even though he is 93!, Unfortunately John's Dad, (John Sydney) died in 96, but he never spoke about his Mother. May I just ask you how you found out about those other Wrights, Stennett etc, I would not have known where to look, I have done alot on my own family, but I have got certificates, photo's etc, and an Aunt who has been ace. Anne.

Right, sorry, Im getting old and dopier. The thing is Anne, you mean you want to find out who George Wright that married May is? I hope thats right.

To find out you could buy George and May's marriage cert? Take it this is the marriage?

Sorry I forgot to say, May Swift was born in Warrington in 1889 ? but not sure where George came from

Sorry I know that, John Robert Wright was born in Grantham Lincs, and that he married Sarah Spouge, they are the parents of 10 children, 1 still living who I got that information from, and have verified, I have information on some of the children, but nothing on Nell, Sarah,Emily, John Edward or George, this is the family that took in John Sydney, when his mother was institutionalised, but through FRU, I have found that a George Wright married May Swift in 1911, May was the sister of John Sydneys mother, Frances Gertrude Swift, so it is the Swift/Wright connection I am interested in, I am sorry if I didn't make things clear, I hope have now, Thankyou Anne.

So, bear with me, basically you just want to know the origins of the John Wright born 1872 who you have found on the 1901? Or have I got that wrong? Have you found him on any earlier census? How do you know the wifes maiden name?

Heather, Thankyou for your reply, the reason I am interested in the Wright family, is that they brought up my husbands father John Sidney Swift, he was born in Cork, in 1917, to a Frances Gertrude Swift, I know that Francis Gertrudes sister May married a George Wright in 1911, we are now thinking that John Sydney may have been brought up by his own relatatives somewhere down the line, and not just brought up by them as we thought, his mother was sent to the workhouse because she was epliptic
she died when he was about 13. I know the details of Arthur, Grace, Jessie,George and Wilf. but this George is obviously not the one married to May Swift. Sorry Frances Gertrude never married. shewas born in Warrington in 1898.

What are you looking for anne?

Lancashire, the last surviving Wright is Wilf (Derry) Wright, he was born in 1914, he married Emily Greenhalgh,any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
