Hi everyone. I'm trying to find descendents of Wrights from Somerset. James Wright (b 1848) married Hannah Bartlet (b1849) and had 8 children all born in Glastonbury area. Emma b 1872 Ellen b 1875 d 1941 (Greatgran) Edith b 1876 William (Bill) b 1876 Ethel b 1880 James b 1883 Sydney b 1885 Charlotte b 1886 I know that Bill had a wife called Clara from old photo's and we think he had a daughter. Family legend says that Sydney went to Australia possibly in the 20's. They moved to the Woolwich / Plumbstead area in the 1900's where James is listed as a builder in the 1901 census. James had a brother William (b circa 1850) also a builder. Their father was called Charles (b cira 1826 in North Petherton Somerset) married to Eliza (no other information) I would be very greatful if anyone can help as we know nothing else about this family as we seem to have lost contact with them.
